El Teponaxtle (O Teponaztli) es un tamborcito usado en épocas prehispánicas en diferentes culturas, que, usando un tronco hueco lograban hacer una caja de resonancia con la cual se tocaba con unas baquetas con pelotitas de gomita natural.
Today, like in ancient times, the teponaztli is played in ceremonies and its use is presided over by Macuilxochitl, Five Flower, Lord of Music and Dance. His face often appears on teponaztli-shaped sculptures.
El viejo Ateponaztli (avetoro), se llama Atoyatontli
