MississippianThis mythical creature is a winged serpent found on a marine shell cup (circa 1100 AD). The plumed or winged serpent was a common symbol throughout the ancient Americas, thought to represent the union of earth and sky in their cosmology. Flourishing from 800 BC - 1500 AD, the high point of the Mississippian culture occured about 1200 AD at Cahokia (Illinois), a large city built around gigantic pyramid-shaped mounds.
