Description

Hopi Storyteller by Water Fox (Delores Seckletstewa) — Signed, 5 Children

A tender expression of Native American storytelling tradition, this signed figure by Water Fox (Delores Seckletstewa) captures the spirit of community and oral heritage. Hand-coiled from natural clay and painted with mineral pigments in warm desert tones of tan, rust, and black, the piece portrays a seated storyteller surrounded by five delighted children—each leaning in to listen, learn, and laugh. Distinctive geometric designs adorn the robe, blending symbolism and artistry in a seamless flow of pattern and narrative.

Signed clearly on the underside “D. Seckletstewa / Hopi / Water Fox.”

A fusion of culture and craftsmanship—one that invites the next keeper of its story to listen closely.
