Cochiti Pottery Storyteller with Two Kids [R]

Damacia Cordero was a legend from Cochiti Pueblo. Her storyteller figurines and animal creations were unlike any other potter's work. This storyteller figurine, possibly a male, has the elongated torso, short legs, big ears, protruding nose and flat face of her traditional style.

Touches of red paint were used for the mouths and nostrils of the three and for the belt tying the chonga hairstyle on the adult. The adult has a design on his back that resembles a vest but it does not extend to the front as a vest would. The two children held in his arms sort of blend in with the arms of the adult.  The Cochiti Pottery Storyteller with Two Kids is signed in ink Damacia Cordero.
