This storyteller figurine is signed J. Ortiz.  There are several Ortiz potters from Cochiti whose first name starts with a J so we are unsure which Ortiz this is.

This Seated Female Storyteller Holding an Infant and a Toddler is signed as J. Ortiz. This signature is by Joyce Ortiz Lewis, who is a daughter of Guadalupe and Seferina Ortiz and sister of Virgil Ortiz, all from Cochiti Pueblo. It is a beautifully made figurine with an exquisite polished finish and well-painted design.  The adult holds one infant wrapped in a blanket and a young boy in her other arm.

Condition: very good condition
