SEFERINA ORTIZ Pottery Frog Storyteller Figurine [SOLD]

Cochiti Pueblo artist Seferina Ortiz has created a figurine of a frog with baby frogs attached.  The pottery figurine was modeled after the Pueblo storyteller figurine with children all over the adult.  Frogs were made much earlier, but adding baby frogs onto the adult was inspired by the earlier human style storyteller figurine.

The adult frog has his or her mouth open and tough partially exposed.  The back is painted with two matching traditional Cochiti rain cloud symbols.  There are two baby frogs clutching on the back and two more sitting on the front legs.

This figurine was made in 1991, at which time we purchased it from Seferina and then sold it to a client from whom we now have it back.  It is in original condition.
