Xicamatl wants to remind people of their past and keep culture alive!
This significative and symbolic resin figure of your very own ancient Xoloitzcuintle comes with their own accessories to celebrate the history of indigenous peoples (their very own ball and Perritos Bailarines figure)

As this figure was made to commemorate International Day of the World’s Indigenous People I decided it was important will include all that went into it's design:

This Xolo is dressed in traditional Mexica clothes to represent Mexica (or Nahua. These are better terms as Aztec was a colonial name used to refer to many indigenous people of the times) peoples that have existed in my country of Mexico for many years. The Xolo is tied to Dia de Muertos as the dog that guides souls through the underworld but also because of its ties to the deity Xolotl. Xolotl represents many things, amongst them death, duality and twins. As the twin of Quetzalcoatl (a mayor deity to Mexicas) he fits these themes well.
For the theme of twins I made a Perritos Bailarines figure (an actual statue in the State of Colima in Mexico), that also represents heritage, perfect for this theme. 
As for the ball, some accounts link Xolotl to the Ball Game (sometimes called Aztec Ball Game) that was actually played by many pre-Hispanic cultures. It fits with the theme perfectly too because it is said the game represents stars (like the sun, moon and Venus) orbiting in the sky. For this reason I sculpted a depiction of a sun (based on the "Aztec Calendar") and the moon on the back (based on an old Nahua legend of a bunny in the moon, as opposed to a man in the moon like in America). 
Lastly I added an Ollin symbol that symbolizes movement or in motion. Highly tied to stars like the sun and to Xolotl as the eye in the middle is said to belong to this deity.
