Item Details

Description

Pre-Columbian, Western Mexico, Colima culture, ca. 100 to 200 CE. A wonderful example of a pleasantly plump Colima puppy with a nicely burnished red finish - quite endearing for its corpulent body, perky ears, and wagging tail! Size: 13"L (33 cm) x 8-1/8"H (20.64 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 Chichi or Escuintla 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 buried in shaft tombs to protect the deceased and provide sustenance for eternity.

Provenance: Ex-private Houston, TX collection acquired at auction or local gallery between 1982 and 1994.

Condition
