Talaloc –Aztec God of Rain and Thunder
Tlaloc is the Aztec god of rain, fertility and water, who lives on top of a mountain. He is usually depicted as having circles around his eyes and fang-like teeth of a jaguar. I chose to create my own idea of Tlaloc.
The artifact that rests on top of his headpiece is usually how he is shown. There are Jaguar claws protruding from the headpieces as well. Tlaloc can be seen standing in front of mountains, with lightning and rain drops around him.
The headpiece, neckpiece, armor and face markings are all painted gold leaf.
