P-3709 - AN EXCEPTIONAL NAYARIT ANECDOTAL SMALL HOUSE WITH 6 PEOPLE, A DOG AND FOOD

This ceramic anecdotal depiction of life in ancient West Mexico exhibits a group of six people seated in front of a casita structure with the pitched roof typical of the dwellings found in the Nayarit, Ixtlan del Rio style. It could be surmised that this is a place to meet and eat, as some form of food is neatly placed in front of a person leaning as if to pick up a piece while a lying dog watches.
