According to Aztec mythology, Xolos were created by the gods as human companions and guides for souls journeying to the afterlife. Often found in the homes of nobles and priests, Xolos were believed to have the power to ward off evil spirits and bring good fortune. 🐕👼

Despite facing a decline in population during the Spanish conquest of Mexico due to the introduction of European dog breeds and cultural changes, the Xolo managed to survive, particularly in remote villages and indigenous communities.

Today, the Xolo is seeing a resurgence in interest and recognition as a national treasure in Mexico. Cherished for their historical and cultural significance, these dogs are loved for their loyalty, affectionate nature, and unique appearance. 🏆🐕

This handcrafted clay figure serves as a testament to the Xolo’s enduring presence in Mexican culture and its status as a symbol of heritage and connection to ancient traditions.
