| Description |
Though lacking its tripod supports, this superb
apricot-colored vessel is otherwise unbroken
and intact. The deity portrayed is one of the
primary gods of the Teotihuacan pantheon,
known by the name Tlaloc. On either side of the
vase, his face emerges from the riotous maze of
his costume--observant, impassive, accepting of
the homages of men.
