Aspect No. 9 - El Regresó.
In the cosmology of the Muisca, there exists the creation Goddess Bachué, the “GrandMother.”
The principal of creation, the will, the thought, and the imagination of all things to come.
According to Muisca legend, humankind was originated in Lake Iguaque, when the Mother Goddess Bachué emerged with a child in her arms. When the child grew, together, they populated the earth. Once finished, they returned to the lake and disappeared in the shape of two snakes.
The Aspect shown here,the second of Los Divinos, is a small tribute and reference to the Mother Goddess & the creation story.
El Serpiente is manifested by the following future relics -
El Mantel de Bachué - a gold boarder staple embellished wool poncho depicting two serpents.
Camiseta Marrón - a double layered jersey tank top with a crotch drape.
V-shorts en dorado - a gold staple embellished pair of linen shorts with gold ribbon detailing.
See below for a look into the process.
This poncho depicts the motif of two golden snakes embracing the wearer when worn wrapped around, and then their faces visible when the poncho is worn down. The snakes symbolizing Bachué & the child as they both return to Lake Iguaque.

Another Aspect from Los Divinos, (the divine) they are personifications of myths and practices from the Musica.
In the world of Perdida, Los Divinos are brought forth when Los Plateados y Los Cobreados come together in practice and worship. They are Tumbagas closest to the celestials, the bridge between the physical and the spiritual.
(In reference to the tumbaga alloy being copper and silver mixed with gold to create objects of worship.)
