Item Details
Description
**First Time At Auction**

Pre-Columbian, West Mexico, Colima, ca. 300 BCE to 300 CE. A beautifully constructed, hand-built redware dog vessel of a charming form that exhibits a playful nature and smooth, highly burnished surfaces enveloped in burnt sienna-hued slip. The corpulent canine stands with a portly abdomen atop a quartet of bowed legs and features a raised neck, powerful shoulders, and a perky tail that doubles as the vessel's spout. The conical head protrudes out from the neck and bears incised, almond-shaped eyes, a tapered snout with carved-out nostrils, an open mouth exposing 2 rows of teeth, and a large pair of perky ears flanking the rounded skull cap. Size: 12.8" L x 6.5" W x 7.6" H (32.5 cm x 16.5 cm x 19.3 cm)

Provenance: ex-Nancy and Dr. E.F. Simpson collection, Los Angeles, California, USA, acquired from 1970 to 2000
