Female Storyteller with 2 kids all with Tabletas [SOLD]

Louis (1932-1997) and Virginia Naranjo (b.1932) were standard bearers for the proud figurative pottery tradition of Cochiti Pueblo. They crafted their figurines at the kitchen table in their comfortable adobe home at the pueblo. They worked almost every day crafting their art with great care, joking and exchanging the gossip of the day as they went along, accompanied by television, children and grandchildren. Their art provided a good life for them and it provided a legacy that will be with us for another century or more.

This seated female is beautifully dressed in a highly-decorated blouse over which she wears the traditional pueblo dress and high-top moccasins.  Her dress is covered at the waist with a belt and she wears a necklace.  Each of the little girls in her lap are similarly dressed.  All three females wear tabletas and all three have their eyes closed and mouths open.

For someone who wants a male and female pair, this female pairs well with the male which is our inventory number C3688.09 (click here to view now).
