Mexica Serpent Sculptures with Tlaloc Imagery

95
These Mexica serpentine figures (c. 1430) were ritually buried beneath new construction phases. One sculpture features Tlaloc's face emerging from a serpent's jaws, symbolizing the rain god's connection to cosmic renewal, fertility, and the cycles of destruction and rebirth. This integration highlights the Mexica's religious emphasis on the interconnectedness of natural and divine forces.
