The Colima people lived in northwest Mexico, in a rugged, low-lying coastal region carved by valleys, each with its own ecology and a warm, humid climate. Little is known about their modes of subsistence, as most of the information we have comes from artifacts from private collections and from the excavation of cemeteries, not residential sites, which usually provide this kind of information. We do know that they practiced irrigation farming, which allowed them to live in large groups in relatively independent villages and urban centers.
Colima ceramics display a wide variety of figures and shapes, but little variation in technique. Most pieces have a burnished red finish and some are decorated with orange or white incisions. Molded figures are common, especially of plants, animals (especially dogs) and seashells. Human representations typically feature dwarfs and hunchbacks more than others, and few female forms. Many of these figures have “coffee-bean” eyes and are dressed in finely detailed traditional attire. Little is known of Colima stonework; only a few pieces such as mace heads, small masks and figurines have been found. These people also practiced basketweaving and weaving, and used metallurgy to make objects such as needles, axes, rattles, nose rings and ear ornaments.
The vast majority of ceramic pieces that have been ascribed to this culture are grave goods found in the tombs of individuals of high social rank. The Colima buried their dead in family tombs up to 30 meters deep, some with multiple chambers. The bodies were accompanied by a wide variety of grave goods, including ceramic statuettes of armed men, which served as symbolic guardians. Ceramic sculptures of dogs were another common grave good, and were believed to be the emissaries of Xolotl, the god of death.
Notes:
- The piece includes authenticity certificate.
- The piece includes Spanish Import/Export License.
- The seller guarantees that he acquired this piece according to all national and international laws related to the ownership of cultural property.

Se oversættelseArticle conforme à la description superbe objet bon communication avec le vendeur la seule chose qui peut être regrettable pour cette sorte d'article c'est qu'il n'y a pas de certificat d'authenticité
Se oversættelseAgréablement surpris par la qualité de l'objet. mais j'ai des doutes sur l'authenticité; le collier est monté sur câble d'acier. pas de fermoir... Etonnant pour un objet dit "ancien"...
Se oversættelseIt's formed with ancient beads, same that all necklaces in other dealers and museums, mounted on modern thread, as is logical
Lovely necklace. Exactly as described and pictured. Well wrapped and packed.I would heartily recommend this seller, and would definitely buy from them again.
