Storytellers and Mask Makers

Jemez Storyteller

Among the most charming developments of the Southwestern Indian artist is that of the storyteller figurine, an adaptation of centuries-old creations in figurine pottery. Cultural traditions and values have historically been passed on by tribal elders through songs and stories geared to teaching the young. It is in these delightful representations that the intense love of the Indians for their children is most clearly shown. Created from the same native clays as other pottery, storyteller figurines range in height from approximately 2 inches to 10 inches.

We represent some excellent Storyteller creators. Among these artists are
