It is a depiction of the Virgin Mary with attributes of the Immaculate Conception: a crowned Madonna, without child, standing on a crescent moon. Made of thousands of tiny pieces of feathers, the mosaic surprises the viewer with a minor optical sensation: when viewed from a certain angle or when the light falls in a particular way, the hummingbird feathers making up the background behind the Madonna suddenly begin to shimmer in an iridescent, metallic blue. As soon as the perspective shifts, the impressive effect vanishes again.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class=\"block block-standard-image-copy rev2nd\"> \n\t<div class=\"container-fluid\">\n\t\t<div class=\"row middle-sm\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col-xs-10 col-sm-6 margin-bottom-sixth\" data-motion-parallax='{\"child\":\".image-wrapper\",\"mask\":\".lazy-media\",\"tween\":{\"yPercent\": [-15,15]}}'>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t<lazy-media-inline inline-template>\n\t\t<figure itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" class=\"lazy-media-inline lazy-max-height-exception\" role=\"group\" id=\"media_69d2a277e0381\" aria-labelledby=\"desc_media_69d2a277e0381\">\n\t\t\t<script type=\"application\/json\" ref=\"data\">\n\t\t\t\t{\n\t\t\t\t\"sizes\" : {\"medium\":{\"file\":\"HF_eb00027308-223x300.jpg\",\"width\":223,\"height\":300,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\"},\"thumbnail\":{\"file\":\"HF_eb00027308-150x150.jpg\",\"width\":150,\"height\":150,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\"},\"original\":{\"file\":\"HF_eb00027308.jpg\",\"width\":742,\"height\":1000}},\n\t\t\t\t\"alt\" : \"Figure made of basalt wearing a headdress and holding two cobs of corn in its left hand\",\n\t\t\t\t\"path\" : \"\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2020\\\/04\\\/\",\n\t\t\t\t\"video\" : null,\n\t\t\t\t\"autoplay\" : null,\n\t\t\t\t\"youtube\" : null,\n\t\t\t\t\"youtubelabel\" : \"Play video\",\n\t\t\t\t\"brightness\" : 100,\n\t\t\t\t\"crop\" : null,\n\t\t\t\t\"background\" : false,\n\t\t\t\t\"scale\" : 1\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t<\/script>\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"height-container\" style=\"padding-bottom:134.77088948787%;\" v-if=\"sizes\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<lazy-media :inline=\"true\" :alt=\"alt\" :sizes=\"sizes\" :scale=\"scale\" :brightness=\"brightness\" :path=\"path\" :video=\"video\" :autoplay=\"autoplay\" :youtube=\"youtube\" :crop=\"crop\" :youtubelabel=\"youtubelabel\" :background=\"background\" media-id=\"desc_media_69d2a277e0381\"><\/lazy-media>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lazy-media-info-container-fluid\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lazy-media-info-row end-xs\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lazy-media-info-col\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lazy-media-info\" aria-expanded=\"false\" :aria-expanded=\"isOpen ?

Among them was this basalt sculpture which combines the attributes of the Aztec goddess Chalchiuhtlicue and the goddess of maize Chicomecoatl. The goddess of the rivers and lakes, of fertility and maize wears a cotton headband with tassels, held in place by a large bow at the back of her head. In her left hand she carries two corncobs. The cavity at chest level was probably once inlaid with a prized precious greenstone whose colour stood for fresh spring water, lakes and rivers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Humboldt objects at the Humboldt Forum.
