to the left: Xiuhtecutli (God of the Turquoise), in the Aztec Calendar represented as the God of Night. It has a tongue like an obsidian knife and turned outwards as in a constant struggle with Tonatiun (the Sun) whom he fought for the duration of night.
to the right: Tonatiun (the Sun) in profile with the same ornaments as in the centre of the Calendar and throwing smoke upwards as a sign of great anger because of the daily struggle with the god of night.
Both gods dressed themselves up with mythic and celestial serpents whereby they acquired grater strength and authority. within the serpents are all the chronological signs, indicating thus that everything occurs in the universe during the day and the night.
