Description:
|
A basic blackware vessel called a florero has been transformed into the image of the Storm God, Tlaloc. The Rain God holds an incense bag in his right hand and a lightning bolt in his left. The Tlaloc vessel with goggled eyes, ears with ear spools, and fangs emerging from a curved mouth held water for ritual ceremonies.
