EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a pottery vessel depicting an ancient breed of Mexican dog, belonging to the Colima Culture that thrived in Mexico between 300-900 AD. The vessel portrays the unique characteristics of this breed known as Thecichi - a hairless and barkless dog. Interestingly, these dogs were bred specifically for consumption and considered a delicacy during that time period. Sadly, today they are on the brink of extinction. The image offers us a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Central America, highlighting the close relationship between humans and animals in ancient societies. It serves as a reminder of how our ancestors utilized different species for various purposes, including sustenance. The intricate details captured on this artifact reveal the craftsmanship and artistic skills prevalent during the Classic Period (AD 300-900) in Colima Culture. The spouted vessel not only preserves historical significance but also provides insights into their daily lives and traditions. As we admire this remarkable piece from centuries ago, it is important to acknowledge its value beyond aesthetics; it represents an era long gone but still holds relevance today. This photograph by CM Dixon allows us to appreciate both the beauty of Mexican artistry and reflect upon our responsibility towards preserving endangered species like Thecichi dogs for future generations to cherish.
