- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, West Mexico, Colima, ca. 300 BCE to 300 CE. A hand-built and highly burnished redware pottery vessel in the shape of an adorable dog. The charming canine presents standing atop a quartet of gently bowed legs with a portly abdomen, an upturned tail that doubles as the spout, and a thick neckline. The sizable head is raised in attention and features a pair of incised ovoid eyes flanking lightly furrowed brows, a thick snout with impressed nostrils, fin-shaped ears projecting from atop the skull, and a dense snout with incised rows of bared teeth. A darker shade of coral red adorns the head and neckline while a lighter orange-red hue decorates the remainder of the vessel. Size: 13.7" L x 5.75" W x 8.375" H (34.8 cm x 14.6 cm x 21.3 cm)
This plump hairless canine known as a Techichi or Escuintle 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 like this example were buried in shaft tombs to protect the deceased and provide sustenance for eternity.
