"The fountain is the anthropomorphic representation of Tláloc, the Lord of the waters. His head responds to a certain particular entity, his version as a synthesis of a twin serpent. This is due to the shape of his glasses and jaws as a product of an interweaving of two snakes" (“El agua, origen de la vida en la Tierra. Diego Rivera y el Sistema Lerma”, 2012, pp. 75 and 77).
