This small turkey figurine is signed Norma Jean without the addition of a surname. It is constructed from native Acoma clay and painted with mineral and vegetal paints. What is really charming about it is the way the artisan placed the waddle on the turkey's chest rather than on its neck. Perhaps, she is a young potter.
Condition: the piece is well constructed and in excellent condition.
Provenance:
- Private Collector, Toronto, Ontario, Canada
