A new mural has appeared on the south side of the building that houses the Eastside Art House (4177 Park Ave, Riverside, CA). The mural incorporates several images, most prominently a Mexican hairless dog called a xoloitzcuintli. This breed is reported to be 3000 years old and is considered to be the ancient Aztec dog of the gods. An ancient representation of the dog is shown on the left. The artist, Juan Navarro @luvmonsterz, described other aspects of the mural on an Instagram post. The symbols on the right are textile patterns from Zacatecas, Mexico, the place where his mother was born. The marigolds symbolize both young and old and represent how culture has been passed down through generations.
