Mexico Archaeology Signed Handcrafted Ceramic Dog Sculpture, "Tlachichi Puppy"
A fat puppy with short legs exemplifies the Tlachichi dogs native to pre-Hispanic Mexico. The little creature sleeps peacefully and seems to smile. Artisans from the Angel Ceron Artisan Association depict the pup in a ceramic replica, much like those found in Colima's shaft tombs. Sculpted in clay as funerary offerings, these ancient figurines accompanied their masters in death to aid the soul in crossing rivers of blood along the road of the dead.

"Perfect and Precious"
The Colima Hound is so cute and it was going to be a gift, but I have decided to keep it. Excellent craftsmanship and a great addition to my Mexican decor. Thank you Angel Caron, continue with your excellent work.

"Cool Skull"
Tlaloc is one of my favorite gods, so having a skull with a Tlaloc motif is greatly appreciated. Looks cool in my room, when the light catches the skull it does look like the image on the description.
