Jemez Indian Hand Coiled Storyteller Pottery.
This is some of the absolute best Storyteller Indian Pottery available on the market today! This Native American Indian storyteller pottery doll was made by Jemez Indian artist Edwina Tortalita. This pottery doll was entirely hand coiled and perfectly shaped with natural clays that were gathered from the earth. This pottery was then fired and masterfully hand painted. This storyteller pottery doll holds a cluster of twelve little hand made clay children who gather together to listen to the stories. This Native American pottery doll is 7-1/4" tall and 4-1/2" wide. Signed by the Navajo Indian artist Edwina Tosa Tortalita Jemez.
A Navajo man once said of his people's oral histories. "If my children hear the stories, they will grow up to be good people." Native Americans think of the earth and the universe as a never-ending circle, and in this circle, man is just another animal. Native American legends reflect the view that human beings are no more important than any other thing, whether alive or inanimate. In the eye of the creator, they believe, man and woman, plant and animal, water and stone, are all equal, and they share the earth as partners - even as family.
