Description
Pre-Columbian, West Mexico, Colima, Protoclassic Period, ca. 100 BCE to 250 CE. An adorable pottery vessel depicting a charming dog laying with a dramatically curved body as if ready to nap at its owner's feet. The cute canine bears a slender body colored with red slip, a quartet of nubbin legs, a pointed tail that bends upwards, and a flared spout rim projecting from the back. The sleepy visage exhibits almond-shaped eyes, a narrow snout with delineated nostrils, thin lips, and a sizeable pair of perky ears. A charming example of man's best friend in pottery effigy form! Size: 8.5" W x 5.3" H (21.6 cm x 13.5 cm)
