With sharp red fangs and his characteristic round eyes, Tlaloc is the Aztec god of rain and lightning. Skilled ceramists from the Angel Ceron Artisan Association replicate an ancient polychrome vessel dating from 1440 to 1469 A.D. They work in ceramic, creating the colors from mineral oxides, and give the image an aged, antique finish.
The original vessel can be seen in the National Museum of Anthropology in Mexico City.

Ive ordered several of these Codex pieces from Angel Ceron Artisan and they are beautiful works of art. Tezcatlipoca is amazing and I am lucky to have gotten one before they sold out. I have several others including Tlaloc and Quetzalcoatl, etc. They are incredible and worth every penny. I can say that the packaging they come in is 100% secure and that I am always amazed at how professionally they are packaged and shipped. They come from Mexico and always come with a hand written note on a postcard from Palenque.
