Woman with Many Children

Woman with Many Children. The time-honored Indian Pueblo Pottery tradition of telling stories of and working with clay has merged into a modern art form of ‘Storyteller’ Pottery dolls. Clay effigies are as ancient as the Anasazi. In 1964 Helen Cordero of Cochiti pueblo created her first ‘storyteller’ to honor her grandfather’s stories of their heritage and traditions.
