Description

These helpers were believed to carry water vessels which they break to let it rain. The sound of thunder is caused by these breaking vessels. Early 16th century. Collection Museo Templo Mayor, Mexico City (10-168829).
Español: Jarrón con la cara de Tlaloc. Estos jarrones se llenaban, como ofrendas, con pequeñas estatuillas que representaban a los 'Tlaloque', los ayudantes de Tlaloc. Se creía que estos ayudantes llevaban vasijas de agua que rompían para que llueva sobre la tierra. El sonido del trueno sería causado por estas vasijas que se rompen. Principios del siglo XVI.
