Item Details

Description

Pre-Columbian, West Mexico, Colima, 300 BCE to 300 CE. A very large and particularly plump Colima dog vessel, finely molded in lustrous redware and standing proudly on all fours, his rotund belly nearly touching the ground, his head alert with a playful countenance presenting perky ears, wide open incised diamond-shaped eyes, a pronounced snout, a nearly ear-to-ear smile revealing skillfully incised gnashing teeth, and an upturned wagging tail. A marvelous example - quite sizeable, full of character, with nice burnishing marks and manganese blooms. Size: 14.5" L x 7.5" W x 11.875" H (36.8 cm x 19 cm x 30.2 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.
