Artist Unknown

Carol M. Pecos signatureThis seated male storyteller holds two young boys on his lap.  The Cochti Pueblo potter is Carol M. Pecos but I have not yet determined who she is and what family she is from.  She obviously is an accomplished potter as this figurine was beautifully constructed and painted. The adult’s hair is sculpted around his face and his eyes are inset.  It is quite a stunning figurine.

 

Condition: original condition
