This vessel represents a Peruvian hairless dog who has recently given birth and seems to be taking a break from maternal obligations. The meanings of such dogs may be connected to the trade networks that brought them to Peru from Mexico in the late pre-Hispanic period. Perhaps these foreign ties made them prestige animals whose breeding engendered further status for the owner. This vessel represents a Peruvian hairless dog who has recently given birth.
