Tlaloc

Tlaloc. Image from the Codex Magliabecchiano [Inset box]. Tlaloc is one of the easiest deities to identify, because his basic characteristics are: goggles formed by two serpents that meet in the center and join to form the nose, and a serpent moustache framing the mouth from which emerge two fangs. His color is blue.
