Maria Naranjo Pottery C3675EI am stating that this black horse single bookend was made by Maria I. Naranjo of Santa Clara Pueblo, even though it is not signed as such.  She is known to use the name Margarita Naranjo and this horse is signed this way.  I am also basing this on my experience with her and the special items she made for me years ago.  I showed her a photo of a three-piece pottery train that is in the Museum of New Mexico and asked her to make one for me, which she did.  When I asked if she would make another one, she refused, without comment.
