Holding an ear of corn in his teeth, this plump little dog replicates those found in shaft tombs throughout Western Mexico. Angel Cerón depicts the itzcuintli, a cheerful, barkless species prized by ancient man. Sculpted in clay as funerary offerings, they accompanied their masters in death to aid the soul in crossing rivers of blood along the road of the dead.

This handsome dog is sitting in an honored place in my family room. I was so fascinated by the history and impressed with the workmanship that I just ordered another of the Colima dogs to join it - and my family of dog rescues. Gracias, Angel! Toni

Ive ordered several of these Codex pieces from Angel Ceron Artisan and they are beautiful works of art. Tezcatlipoca is amazing and I am lucky to have gotten one before they sold out. I have several others including Tlaloc and Quetzalcoatl, etc. They are incredible and worth every penny. I can say that the packaging they come in is 100% secure and that I am always amazed at how professionally they are packaged and shipped. They come from Mexico and always come with a hand written note on a postcard from Palenque.
