Description
ceramic,
Archaeological records indicate that domesticated dogs have lived in the southwestern region of Mexico for at least 3,000 years. Ceramic effigies, or representations, of Xoloitzcuintle, more commonly referred to as Xolo, or Mexican Hairless, have been found across the region.
Dogs played an important role for indigenous people in this region. Not only did they provide an opportunity for food, but they also served spiritually as a part of ceremonial and religious life. In some cultures, Xolos were buried with their human companions to act as guides to the afterlife, or underworld.
