`El guardián del Mictlán llegó`

Él no vino a la ofrenda... él vino a llevarlos de regreso. Nuestros abuelos decían que el Xoloitzcuintli es el que guía a las almas en su camino. Hoy llegó puntual a su trabajo. #xoloitzcuintli #mictlan #XOLOmiperritoguia

The Colima culture was a prominent pre-Columbian society in western Mexico that flourished roughly from 300 BCE to 600 CE. Thrived in the fertile valleys and coastal plains of the modern Mexican state of Colima and surrounding areas. Roots trace back to the early Capacha culture (around 1500 BCE), with its main artistic peak occurring during the Late Pre-Classic and Classic periods (300 BCE – 600 CE). Known for deep, bottle-shaped underground burial chambers containing rich ceramic grave goods meant to accompany the dead. Famous for expressive, smooth redware and burnished terracotta effigies of hairless dogs (Xoloitzcuintli), which were believed to guide souls to the underworld.
