Description :
Storyteller large and small cats by Dorothy Herrera of Cochiti, New Mexico. Artist is listed in “American Indian Textiles” page 228; and ”Pueblo Pottery Families”, page 26, and "Storytellers and other Figurative Pottery" by Douglas Congdon-Martin, page 14 and 15. Both cat figures were purchased from the Flute Player Gallery in Colorado Springs, Colorado, 2002. Large cat 9” and small cat 3”. Storyteller clay art is believed to be an art form that dates back to 300 B. C. or at least as early as 400 A. D. The figures are formed from clay (by hand) and this art became a lost art through the centuries. In the mid-1900's, Helen Cordero of Cochiti pueblo brought back the art to by making storytellers called "Singing Mothers" (men figures were typically the storytellers, and women were formed with open mouths to represent they are singing). Helen Cordero sparked a community of various storyteller artists who each have their own style and story to tell through their art. Beside men and women and children, artists began creating animals, as well. Dorothy Herrara is known for her animal figures and her art can be found at Indian Traders West, Bing Crosby's, The Kiva, Andrews Pueblo Gallery, Indian Traders West, and other galleries in the Southwest. https://www.penfieldgallery.com/artistsstoryteller/dorothy-herrera-storyteller1.html
