I guess this figurine represents what you think it represents. To me, it looks like a blow fish but I’m sure there are no blow fish in Cochiti Lake. It is rather unique from the standpoint of having a handle attached. I believe it to date to very early 20th century. There is no artist name written on it.
Condition: very good condition
Provenance: From the collection and estate of Santa Fe dealer, collector and artist Teal McKibben (1928-2006), who had a gallery named La Bodega on Canyon Road for decades.
