Black Bear with Fish in Paw and Cub on her Back [SOLD]

Dorothy Herrera formed a very realistic storyteller figurine of a mama bear with her cub.  The multitasking female bear has also captured a fish in her left paw!  Her single cub is riding on her back.  He is watching her intently - learning how to be a successful hunter.

Cochiti Pueblo potter Dorothy Herrera is the granddaughter of Laurencita Herrera and daughter of Mary Frances Herrera.  She has been making pottery, mostly storytellers, since the 1980s.
