This is our replica of The Tlaloc Vessel Found
at the Museo Del Templo Mayor in Mexico.
Polychromed ceramic vessel from the Great
Temple of Tenochtitlan depicting Tlaloc
The cult of Tlaloc is one of the oldest and most universal in ancient Mexico. Although the name Tlaloc is specifically Aztec, worship of a storm god like Tlaloc, associated with mountaintop shrines and with life-giving rain, is as at least as old as Teotihuacan and likely was adopted from the Maya god Chaac or vice versa, or perhaps he was ultimately derived from an earlier Olmec precursor.
Tlāloc is a member of the pantheon of gods in Aztec religion. As supreme god of the rain, Tlaloc is also a god of earthly fertility and of water. He was widely worshipped as a beneficent giver of life and sustenance. However, he was also feared for his ability to send hail, thunder, and lightning, and for being the lord of the powerful element of water. Tlaloc is also associated with caves, springs, and mountains, most specifically the sacred mountain in which he was believed to reside. His animal forms include herons and water-dwelling creatures such as amphibians, snails, and possibly sea creatures, particularly shellfish

we put a lot of love into each one of our items, we strive to reach perfection even though it is nearly impossible, specially working with clay or ceramic, there could be stress marks or small cracks made by the changing temperatures our crafts are put to.
