Tlaloc

[Kevin P Smith]

Dear Neteros:
In an Inquisition record I'm working on there is a reference to an ancient
statue of Tlaloc, which bore on its forehead a chalchihuitl "con una
figura por la una parte, que dicen es cuenta de seis dias." Can anyone
speculate as to what figure this might refer? The scribe here is
translating testimony given in Nahuatl. Was Tlaloc especially connected
with a particular trecena or veintena in the Aztec calendar?

Thanks in advance for any information.
