Jemez Pueblo potter Chrislyn Fragua handcrafted this traditional storyteller, a unique pottery form that rose in popularity in the 20th century. Storyteller figurines celebrate the Pueblo tradition of sharing stories orally and depict an elder surrounded by listening children. In Fragua's figurine, each element was created by hand from natural clay using the traditional coil and pinch methods and hand painted with natural pigments, demonstrating the artist's mastery of traditional pottery making methods.
This storyteller figurine is a uniquely Pueblo tradition that is essential to any Southwestern art collection.
Figurine measures 7-3/4" long and 4-3/8" wide, stands 9-1/2" tall. Comes with a certificate of authenticity.
