The (Mayan) Opossum God carrying the Rain God during the New Year Rites
(cacao is to be offered). This picture is from the Dresden Codex,
and I found it in Sophie (and Michael) Coe's book The True History
of Chocolate. [Colouring of both pictures by me :) I was trying
to figure out whatnot on earth was going on.]

The Opossum God carries out an image of the Maize God to a shrine at
the entrance of the town during New Year ceremonies (Dresden Codex).
This picture I found in The Maya by Michael D. Coe.
