The exact origin of this piece is unknown, but it is believed to have come from the Nayarit region of Mexico. This masterpiece is currently housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) in the United States.

The dogs are depicted with their paws resting on one another, creating a sense of unity and interconnectedness. The purpose and meaning behind this artwork remain a mystery. Some scholars believe it may represent the concept of unity and harmony within a pack or community, while others suggest it could be a symbol of the afterlife or the interconnectedness of the natural world. The vibrant colors and intricate details of the dogs' coats and features are still visible, despite the passage of time. The dogs' expressions and postures convey a sense of energy and liveliness, making this ancient artifact a fascinating glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the ancient Americas. The "Four Joined Dogs" sculpture is a testament to the artistic achievements of the ancient civilizations that once thrived in the Americas.
