Fertility deity (a./o. Chalchiuhtlicue). Despite severe damage (both arms are broken off, large sections of the headdress are missing), the cone-like tassels hanging down on both sides of the temple area of the headdress are clearly recognisable as a characteristic feature. There is a circular hollow on the chest. The hem of the quechquemitl is decorated with round gemstones.
