Representations
The most common representation of Ai Apaec is the one seen in the murals of the Temples of the Sun and the Moon, which present an anthropomorphic face with feline fangs, surrounded by ocean waves. Ai apaec was represented in several ways, depending on the period, place, and medium used. In metallurgy, for example, Ai apaec is often seen as a spider with eight legs and an anthropomorphic face with jaguar fangs. In ceramics the divinity is often more anthropomorphic, usually with his head in his hands and sometimes with two snakes sprouting from his head. In sculpture he is shown with a staff. It is said that during human sacrifices, prisoners were decapitated and their heads given to Ai apaec.In popular culture
