Chalchiuhtlatonac

Originating as a Totec deity his name means

"shining jade jewels" and is designated as the teotl of flowing waters. He would be the more equivalent to Chalchiuhtlicue.

Here he is ruling over the fifth sign of the day count coatl or snake which is seen on the left.

This sign is usually ruled by Chalchiuhtlicue.

His septum is pierced with a jeweled rod and his headdress has the quetzalcoxcoatli bird head at top. These attributes connect him with Xochipilli.
