Grace Suina Female Storyteller with 4 Children

Grace Suina demonstrates clearly in her figurines that she was taught pottery techniques by her famous mother, Ada Suina. One can see the similarity in this storyteller to those of her mother. 

The female figurine is dressed in the typical Pueblo black dress. She wears a picturesque blouse under the dress. The four children have the famous Suina smile. 

Grace Suina (b.1955) is apparently not a prolific potter based on Adobe Gallery history of featuring storyteller exhibits every Mother's Day weekend for years, during which we only had a single figurine from Grace.

Condition: very good condition

Provenance: this Grace Suina Female Storyteller with 4 Children is from the collection of a client from California
