THE COLOSSAL HEAD OF TLALOC (Mexico) “Children keep sitting on my head” (to the tune of ‘Raindrops ...’). This is a rare historical photograph (1964) of the original colossal (23 feet high) stone statue to TLALOC where it lay for centuries in a dry stream bed in the village of Coatlinchan, 30 miles from Mexico City - before it was transported on the back of a giant purpose-built trailer to its present location, standing proudly at the entrance to the National Museum of Anthropology in Mexico City.
