Native American Jemez Pueblo pottery
Storyteller Santa Claus of Pueblo clay by D. (Deborah) Loretto.
As you think about acquiring this last Santa in our inventory, you may ask how a European religious symbol finds its way into Native American culture.
Our theory is that art finds its own medium and, for the talented pottery artists of the Pueblos, a jolly symbol like Santa Claus is a natural outlet for their creative urges…and their need for income.
This jolly Santa Claus pottery storyteller Deborah Loretto, fills the expectation with charm and sense of well-being as a swarm of Santa’s fans listen to his tales of toys and joys.
