Description
The Chac Mool formed part of the ritual furniture and were placed in the sacred spaces as interfaces between the faithful and the gods. It seems that they were used as a table of offerings or as sacrificial stones. Among the Mexicas, these figures were linked to the god Tlaloc, as we can see in this magnificent example in which the character is luxuriously dressed and carries a variant of the mask of this god of rain and lightning.
