Cochiti Figurine of a Moccasin with 7 Children [SOLD]

Here is a Cochti Pueblo pottery storyteller figurine version of the Old Woman who lived in a Shoe.  In this example, seven little boys are clamoring all over a pueblo moccasin.  Felicita is always dreaming up something slightly different from the ordinary.  She is a very talented potter and continues to surprise us.

I believe Felicita Eustace, at 88 years of age, is still working making pottery figurines, using all native materials and firing in the traditional outdoor firing process.  I have not heard that she has retired, a word that seems not to exist among pueblo potters.

Condition: original condition
