Maria Naranjo Pottery - C3675YThis Southwest Indian Pottery figurine set includes two horses, wagon, male and female adults, child, bench and dog.  It is one of the items I commissioned decades ago from Maria I. Naranjo (1924-2006) Margarita of Santa Clara Pueblo.  As I have mentioned on other occasions, I first commissioned her to make for me a three-piece black train set similar to one in a photograph I showed her from the Museum of New Mexico collection.  She made the set for me.  I then commissioned her to make a Noah's Ark, which she did, then in 1985, I asked her to make this horse and wagon set.  I got it from her on December 5, 1985 and kept it in my collection until I sold it to an individual associated with Worcester Polytech Institute, Worcester, Massachusetts, on November 30, 1989.  Now, 26 years later, here it is again back in New Mexico!
