 | | The god Tlaloc, "He who Makes Things Grow," was personified by the divine and fertile water of the earth, and who resided in the tallest mountains where clouds form. |
 | | Due to his aquatic character, this deity was associated with different objects, such as representations of whirlpools and lightning; shells of different kinds, coral, fish, and frogs, an infinity of stone jars with his effigy, among others. |
 | | Of this large group of objects found on the side corresponding to Tlaloc, what stands out is the so-called Tlaloc vessel, the representation of a Chac Mool, the sculpture of a seashell, and a relief of Tlaloc-Tlaltecuhtli which is particularly interesting. |
