Monumento a Tlahuicole, Bronze statue in Tlaxcala de Xicohténcatl, Mexico
The monument stands at a roundabout at the entrance of Tlaxcala city, near the beginning of the Puebla-Tlaxcala Federal Highway.
Spanish sculptor Manuel Vilar y Roca created this bronze statue in 1852, following his arrival to Mexico, representing the Tlaxcaltec warrior Tlahuicole.
The statue exhibits Mexican Baroque style elements and represents Tlahuicole wielding his characteristic heavy club, a weapon few soldiers could handle.
Two additional bronze copies of the original sculpture are preserved at the National Institute of Fine Arts and the National Autonomous University of Mexico.
Tlahuicole earned such respect from Moctezuma II that he received an unprecedented release from captivity and command offers in the Aztec army.
