Item Details

Description

Pre-Columbian, Western Mexico, Colima, ca. 300 BCE to 200 CE. A fabulous Colima puppy vessel, modeled from brilliant redware and replete with manganese blooms, root marks, and burnishing marks. The canine's body is curled up in the manner that pups enjoy, while its head is propped up over its rear paws. Meanwhile, its visage is quite endearing, presenting coffee bean shaped eyes, perky ears, a pointy snout, and even a smile! Behind the canine's back, which is nicely delineated with a scalloped edge perhaps to indicate its spine, is a generous vessel spout. A wonderful example of this classic form! Size: 6.75" L x 8.625" W x 4.125" H (17.1 cm x 21.9 cm x 10.5 cm)

Scholars know of at least two types of Colima dogs, one to be fattened up and ritually sacrificed or eaten and one to serve as a watchdog and healer of the ill. This plump hairless canine known as a Techichi or Escuincle is thought to be related to the Chihuahua or Mexican Hairless also known as the Xoloitzcuintle. The Xolo dog was named for the deity Xolotl, the God of the Underworld, and believed to guide the deceased as they journeyed to the afterlife. Colima vessels such as this one were believed to protect the deceased and provide sustenance for eternity.
