Virginia Naranjo (1932 - ) signatureThis is one of the earliest storyteller figurines by Virginia Naranjo I have seen.  The features are nothing like those of her later works.  She has been an active potter since around 1962 but probably did not start making storyteller figurines until around 1968 or so.  Perhaps this is one of her late 60s or very early 70s figurines.  Later, around 1974, Virginia and Louis Naranjo collaborated on most figurines and they have a different look than this one.  This one is unique and very collectible because of its age and uniqueness.
