This boot storyteller is accompanied by 21 children sitting all over the boot, ther
e is a wooden ladder on the top of the boot.
It measures approximately 7" tall x 4" wide x 5 1/2" deep. The bottom is marked "Vangie Suina".
Vangie has been working with clay art since the age of 22 (in the early 1980's). This is one of her earlier pieces.
The storyteller is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, repairs, or paint wear.
We are pleased to present this beautiful piece of Santa Clara pottery featuring the Avanyu Serpent which goes entirely around the pot. The Avanyu Serpent is both respected and feared and symbolic of the search for water. Feathers are etched along the body of the serpent.
The pot stands 4 1/2" tall by about 4 1/2" across at widest.
The top three quarters portion of the pot is done is sgraffito technique with the bottom being smooth and having mica within the clay.
Gorgeous piece of pottery that will sure to be a highlight of any collection.
Signed on the bottom by the artist.
