I am not familiar with the artist of this storyteller figurine, Louise E. Suina, but she certainly did an excellent job of making and decorating this one. The intricate apron on the adult is beautifully painted and each of the 14 children is painted to perfection. The boys are outfitted with a cowboy hat, baseball cap or a traditional headband. The girls are dressed in traditional pueblo dresses and some carry items in their hands. Overall, this is an excellent southwest Indian pottery storyteller figurine presentation. It is signedLouise E. Suina, Cochiti, N.Mex. on the underside.
