Laura Gachupin is one of the leading potters from Jemez Pueblo.  This is one of her figurative pieces.  It is a “Singing Mother” storyteller style of figure with the mother holding a single child.  Laura has sculpted the shawl on the figure and it is fully polished. The remainder of the piece is matte.  The base has a mountain pattern painted as the design.  The figure is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair. It is signed on the bottom in the clay.
