Description

Diane Lucero Jemez Pueblo Storyteller – Hand-Painted, 5 Children

Charming hand-sculpted and hand-painted clay storyteller figure by Diane Lucero (D. Lucero) of Jemez Pueblo, New Mexico. The piece depicts a seated woman surrounded by five children, one holding a drum, capturing the warmth and spirit of the traditional Pueblo oral storytelling tradition. Painted in natural earth tones of tan, rust, black, and turquoise, the figure features finely rendered expressions and decorative details.

A delightful and collectible example of Lucero’s celebrated storyteller form — a signature style within contemporary Jemez pottery that honors family, heritage, and the sharing of stories.
