Description
Depicted on the front of this Stela is Tlaloc, the god of rain, lightning and thunder. The god is shown here wearing a headdress with the symbol of the year that the Stela was dedicated. In the lower portion, the mustache and fangs characteristic of this deity can be found.
On either side are glyphs alluding to water (7 panels of water, another 7 depicting rain), as well as others (7 'house', 2 death).
