SOLD - Pre-Columbian Ceramic Dog
Dave DeRoche - Art of Africa, Oceania and the Americas
This puppy-like example of a classic Colima dog still has its original, tomb-find surface. The calcification and manganese mineral accretions that grow or form on the fired clay's surface over the burial time of many hundreds of years in the earth have never been scraped or cleaned off.
