Pre-Columbian, West Mexico, Jalisco, ca. 300 BCE to 300 CE. A standing pottery dog vessel having a large squat body and expressive facial features. While most collectors of Pre-Columbian pottery are familiar with puppies coming from the Colima region, ceramic canines from Jalisco are relatively rare. This standing pottery dog hails from Jalisco and while similar to Colima dogs, there are distinct differences. It is comprised of hollow-molded brownware pottery, standing on all fours with a pronounced perhaps pregnant belly, and upturned tail. The visage shows a characteristically elongated snout with strong defining lines, an open mouth revealing her hanging tongue, perky ears, wide coffee bean-shaped eyes, and the head has a nice bifurcation down the center. The piece is boasts a dark, black-brown coat with scattered areas of mineral deposits and root marks. Just fabulous! Size: 9.5" L x 5.25" W x 6.25" H (24.1 cm x 13.3 cm x 15.9 cm).
