Native American Jemez Made Storyteller with Eight Little Ones--Vintage

Description

1990s Native American Jemez Made Storyteller with Eight Little Ones by Kenneth James Sando

Classic storyteller by Kenneth James Sando from Jemez, NM. The woman is singing stories of their cultural history to the children and they sing along. Only a few of these children are really singing the words, but it appears they are all enjoying the time spent. 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 an 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 beautiful piece came from a private collection.
