Seated Male Figurine with Head Bonnet [SOLD]

This is a wonderful pottery figurine and different from most seen in the past.  Unfortunately, the potter will not get credit for such a creation because there is no name on the figurine.  The bulging eyes are a familiar look but I cannot recall whose style that is.  The feather head bonnet is not one I recall ever seeing in the past.  The style of the Cochiti Pueblo figurine reminds me of the work of Ben Eustace but I have not had enough of his pottery to make a definite judgement.  I am hopeful that someone recognizes this style and contacts us with the name of the potter.
