Inez took a little course correction on this storyteller figurine and added two honey buckets to the bears. The adult bear is holding two cubs in her arms and a third on sits on her leg. One pot is on her head and the other rests on her lap.
Inez, as she now signs her pottery, is a daughter of Seferina Ortiz, sister of Virgil Ortiz and mother of Lisa Holt. She has remained with traditional designs and shapes much like her mother and unlike that of Virgil and Lisa.
The figurine is signed only with Inez’s Native name Mapuwana and Cochiti Pueblo.
Condition: very good condition
