EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable ceramic sculpture known as the Colima half-lying Dog, created by the ancient Colima Culture between 300 BC and 500 BC. Standing at a height of 20 cm, this funerary artwork is currently housed in the Museo Amparo in Puebla, Mexico. The image captures the essence of this primitive Mexican sculpture, depicting a dog in a relaxed half-lying position. The artist skillfully crafted every detail of this piece, showcasing their mastery over pottery techniques prevalent during that era. As an integral part of Mesoamerican culture, dogs held significant symbolism for pre-Columbian societies. This sculpture likely served as both a representation of a beloved pet and as an offering to accompany individuals into the afterlife. The photograph beautifully highlights the intricate features and textures present on the ceramic surface. Its composition allows viewers to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its historical significance within Mesoamerica. Jean Pierre Courau's expert photography ensures that every nuance is captured with precision and clarity. Through his lens, we are transported back in time to witness this extraordinary artifact firsthand. With its rich cultural heritage and timeless appeal, this mesmerizing print serves as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with art from ancient civilizations like that of Colima Culture.
