SPECIAL OFFER: Seated Male Figurine by Damacia Cordero [SOLD]

Damacia Cordero was a legend from Cochiti Pueblo. Her storyteller figurines and animal creations were unlike any other potter's work. She was one of the most prolific figurine potters of the 20^th century, yet her pieces are some of the most sought after. She made figurines with more character and expression than most potters,

Here is one of her wonderful seated male figures. The expression on his face is one of bewilderment? Shock? Pleasure? Happiness? You name it and it probably applies. The figurine is in excellent condition.

There is a very faint pencil notation that barely can be made out to read Cordero, although most of it is worn away. It is not her signature, but probably a notation an owner placed there years ago. Damacia’s figurines are recognizable even when not signed by the artist. One trait is the dark smoky firing she achieved. That, along with the shape of the face on her human figures, made each of her pieces identifiable. This figurine is in excellent condition.
