Dogs as domesticated pets held a place of importance throughout many of Mexico's pre-Hispanic cultures. Always loyal, the dog was trusted to lead its master's soul to the realm of the dead, for dogs were believed to see spirits. Artisans from the Angel Cerón Artisan Association craft this extraordinary ceramic sculpture, a replica of the museum piece dated between 950 and 1521 AD.

    Now that's a Chihuahua

    I gave this as a gift to a friend who has a dog that looks just like this. His nick name is lumpy. My friend had seen this statue on line and was amused at the similarity to her dog, so of course I had to give it to her for her birthday.

    This is my second piece from Mr. Ceron. I received one as a gift and had to get another one of his dogs.

    Beautiful and authentic

    I have several replicas of the colima dogs of the ancient Maya culture and Angel Ceron's are my favorite! These clay works of art showcase the Xoloitzquintli dog beautifully in all his pre-Columbian glory.

    I ordered this adorable dog to remind me of my trip to Maya Riviera. Great quality and very special piece of historical art.

    I collect these little dogs. People always comment on them when I am entertaining. They seem to like this one best. It has a nice weight to it too.
