R. Dushkin - artist signature

The maker of this charming male storyteller must remain a mystery as I cannot find any published information on the artisan although we do know the name but no other information.

The maker of this Cochiti Pueblo Male Storyteller Holding a Child and an Infant obviously is a talented and experienced potter as the figurine was beautifully made and designed.  He is holding one boy and a blanket-wrapped infant.  His shirt is decorated and around his neck is a bola. 

We will attempt to find out something about the artist, R. Dushkin, from our trusted informant, Mary Trujillo of Cochiti Pueblo.

Condition: original condition
