This antique Aztec sculpture of the rain and water god Tlaloc is a quintessential example of pre-Columbian Mesoamerican art, carved from light beige, matte stone—likely volcanic, as suggested by its textured, grainy and porous surface. The figure is monolithic, hewn from a single block, adopting a frontal, rigid stance with simplified limbs held close to the body, emphasizing the motif of divine solidity and ritual power. Facial features are geometric and highly stylized: drilled circular eyes, a rectangular mouth with a row of small drilled pits echoing teeth or ornaments, a pronounced nose, and angular brow—true to Aztec iconography. The sculpture is entirely unpainted, relying on the natural material and form. Measuring approximately 21 cm in height, 13 cm in width, and 7 cm in depth, its silhouette is sharply proportioned, with shallow reliefs providing a sense of depth. Condition is very good, with only minor age-appropriate wear: faint surface smoothing, rounded edges, and small chips—these enhance, rather than diminish, its antique character. The presence
