Nativity Figures--1985, (7 pieces--5" - 2" in size) by Margaret Gutierrez (born 1936) and Luther Gutierrez (1911–1987). "They were brother and sister Native American potters from Santa Clara Pueblo, New Mexico. They continued the polychrome style of painting made famous by their parents Lela and Van Gutierrez. They began making pottery together in the 1960s. Margaret and Luther’s painted slips included unique color combinations. Their first creations included polychrome bowls, jars and wedding vases with designs centered on the Avanyu (water serpent), rain, clouds and lightning and sky bands. In the 1970s they came up with their original idea of making polychrome caricatures of animals and other smaller figurines rather than the jars made famous by their parents. These were painted with the same slips and pigments used on earlier pieces." (Wikipedia) Also included are ten other animal figurines (dated 1985-1996) by Margaret. And one clown figure.(1999) by Stephanie Naranjo. this id a great collection of adorable figurines, most are about 2". Date: Location: Santa Clara Pueblo, New Mexico HWAC # 49366
