Description The Rattlesnake Disk. It's thought that this stone Disk was used as a palette. The two knotted rattlesnakes appear with "horns". These may be greatly exaggerated images of the sharp edged contour of the "hood" over the snake's eyes, or, more likely, a mythological snake or serpent. The eye in hand symbol appears in other places in the world in addition to the "southern ceremonial complex" of America, including the "Hand of Fatima" in the middle east.
