Cochiti Pueblo has a long history of producing figurative pottery. It reached its prime in the last quarter of the 19th century and the first quarter of the 20th century. There was a strong revival in the early 1970s with the production of storyteller figurines. Some potters at Cochiti expanded beyond the traditional storyteller figurines. Seferina Ortiz was one of them.
It is unfortunate that Seferina is no longer with us, but her legacy will continue through her pottery creations and through her talented children.
This wonderful owl figurine was exceptionally formed and painted.
Condition: The figurine is in original excellent condition.
Provenance: ex. coll. Missouri collector
