Description:
|
The Tlaloc alter brazier incorporates a feathered headdress into the flared top. The rain god's characteristics include goggled eyes, a fanged mouth, flared ears with small ear plugs, and an inverted flared base for his neck and collar. The incense burner retains a good deal of its earthen pigments.
