Tlaloc (TR5v)

The gloss that points to rain helps to identify this iconographic example of the divine force of the rain, Tlaloc, in profile and facing toward the viewer's right. A large, curving, stream of water comes down from the upper left toward the lower right. It has black lines of current, and splashing off the current are alternating turbinate shells and droplets/beads. Perched on the lower tip of the water stream is the figure representing the divine force. The color turquoise predominates, including a curling shape in front of his starry eye (also circled in turquoise blue) and coming down to the left of his mouth. Fangs protrude from his mouth. He has what appears to be a quetzal feather headdress and many additional adornments in white gold, green and red.
