i just love him ok #Dog with Basket On Head (Zaru-Kaburi-Inu-Hariko) Tokyo, Kanto District, Japan, 20th c. Papier mâché, bamboo, paint 3 in. x 3 in. x 3 in. (7.62 cm x 7.62 cm x 7.62 cm) Mingei International Museum 2001-69-022 collections.mingei.org/ob…. #DogsInArt #JapaneseArt
official museum photo of the object, quarter turn profile small painted papier mâché figure of a chonky white / black / red dog with a bamboo basket on its head “They are used as lucky charms to pray for safe childbirth and the healthy growth of children. Safe Childbirth: Because dogs give birth relatively easily and have multiple puppies, they symbolize fertility and easy labor. Protection: They act as "guardian dogs" to ward off evil spirits and are believed to take on any physical misfortunes in place of the child. The "Basket-Wearing" Dog (Zaru-kaburi Inu) is a play on words: the kanji for "bamboo" placed over "dog" resembles the kanji for "to laugh", symbolizing a home filled with laughter and health (as the basket also helps "drain" away sickness).” (info via tokyo.yokai.tales)

Vessel in the form of a #dog, Comala style, Colima, W. Mexico Late Formative Period, 300 BCE - 400 CE Burnished ceramic w/ red slip On display @ Princeton University Art Museum (2015-6691) #DogsInArt #MesoamericanArt #IndigenousArt

Photo of the gallery label “Comala style, Late Formative Period Colima, Mexico Vessel in the form of a dog, 300 BCE-400 CE Burnished ceramic with red slip Gift of Virginia and Bagley Wright Jr., Class of 1946 (2015-6691) This two-thousand-year-old ceramic dog is a testament to the enduring relationship between humans and dogs. It's fascinating to consider that our appreciation and respect for animals are sentiments shared with our distant ancestors. While some theories suggest that these sculptures were interred in tombs as symbols of food, I prefer to view the serene posture of this figure as a depiction of companionship: the canine likeness being laid beside her entombed human to accompany them for eternity. Her peaceful sleeping posture is reminiscent of my own dog curled up in her bed. The resemblance may not be coincidental. Identifying the breed is challenging; it might depict a Xoloitzcuintli or an extinct Techichi. Yet I like to imagine it as a Chihuahua, echoing part of the ancestry of my own mixed-breed canine companion. Peter S. Chapman, Medical Director, BluePearl Pet Hospital, Levittown, PA”

Bridge-spout vessel in the form of a #dog suckling two #puppies (Peruvian hairless dog) Chimú culture, North coast Peru, Late Intermediate Period 1000-1450CE Reduction-fired ceramic (blackware) On display @ Princeton University Art Museum (y1993-21) #DogsInArt #AndeanArt #PeruvianArt #IndigenousArt
photo of the effigy vessel on display at museum Mother dog (Peruvian hairless dog) suckling two puppies, Chimu blackware, bridge spout
photo of the gallery label “Chimú, Late Intermediate Period North coast, Peru Bridge-spout vessel in the form of a dog suckling two puppies, 1000-1450 Reduction-fired ceramic Museum purchase (y1993-21) While many Chimú ceramic vessels share the smudge-fire black coloration and glossy burnish of this vessel, few present such subtle modeling, detail, and sensitivity as this representation. Although Chimú artists preferred blackware ceramics to represent all kinds of subject matter, the coloration here approximates that of the Peruvian hairless dog, an identification supported by the fine lines on the body referencing folds of skin. This species begins to appear in art from Peru's north coast toward the end of the Early Intermediate period (ca. 750), when it may have been introduced to the region via maritime trade. A closely related species is well attested on Mexico's west coast a millennium earlier, suggesting the likely origin of the Peruvian immigrant. While hairless dogs were eaten in ancient Mexico, scholars believe ancient Peruvians may have kept these dogs for their healing powers.”
