Hand Coiled Clay Pottery Makers mark “R.D. Jemez Pueblo, NM”

Excellent Condition

A Jemez Pueblo Storyteller figurine depicting an adult figure (often a grandfather or grandmother in traditional style) with four children clustered around them, symbolizing the oral tradition of passing stories to the young.

Jemez Pueblo (also known as Walatowa), located in New Mexico, is renowned for producing these iconic clay storyteller figures. The tradition originated with Cochiti Pueblo potter Helen Cordero in the 1960s, but Jemez artists adopted and popularized it, creating many variations in hand-coiled, hand-painted natural clay with earthy tones, geometric designs, and expressive open mouths (representing singing or storytelling).
