Symbolic battle between feathered serpents and other animals: winged fish, cojotes with spines of Obsidian, jaguars with bodies decorated with flowers. The mural painting is probably related to political changes in Teotihuacan around 350 A.D. At that time, a large platform was built in front of the Pyramid of the Feathered Serpent, what could have signalized, that Quetzalcóatl, the Feathered Serpent, had lost importance.
