Item Details

Description

Pre-Columbian, West Mexico, Colima, ca. 300 BCE to 300 CE. An endearingly portly Colima ceramic puppy, one of the most famous types of West Mexican shaft tomb cultural artifacts. This little guy has a lively face with incised wide open eyes, a protruding snout with a pointy nose and pierced flaring nostrils, an open mouth revealing sharp teeth, perky ears and curly tail, and a huge belly - having been fattened up to be dinner perhaps! Size: 16.5" L x 8.5" W x 10" H (41.9 cm x 21.6 cm x 25.4 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.
