This frog figurine is signed J. Ortiz.  I am speculating that the potter was Mary Janice Ortiz who sometimes signed her pottery M. J. Ortiz.  She is a daughter of Seferina and Guadalupe Ortiz.

This frog figurine is signed J. Ortiz, the signature used by Joyce Ortiz Lewis, who is a daughter of Guadalupe and Seferina Ortiz and sister of Virgil Ortiz

 

The adult frog wears a vest of the American Flag design on the front and a traditional Cochiti Pueblo cloud design on the back.  Both young frogs are dressed in overalls.  The figurine was beautifully formed, highly polished and perfectly painted.

 

Condition: very good condition
