This statue of Xochipilli (AKA Prince of Flowers) was found at Tlalmanalco on Popocatépetl volcano and is dated approximately 1450 A.D. The god's body has carved flowers including coaxihuitl (Turbina corymbosa), source of ololiuhqui seeds. It is possible to observe rosettes of the sectioned caps of the mushrooms called xochinanacatl or "flower mushrooms" in Nahuatl, probably Psilocybe aztecorum. The face of Xochipilli is contorted as if seeing visions in ecstasy, and the head is tilted as if hearing voices (R.G. Wasson).
