Native American Isleta Storyteller with Five Little Ones

Description

Native American Isleta Storyteller with Five Little Ones by Mona Teller

A wonderful storyteller by Mona Teller from Isleta, NM. The woman is singing the stories of cultural history to the children. A really sweet piece by Mona and the little ones with their mounts wide open, singing along are so sweet. The storyteller is 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 Native American Indians for their children is most clearly shown. This is an older piece and was acquired through a private collection.
