The first one honored her grandfather, Santiago Quintana, a respected tribal storyteller. These figurines typically show a seated adult (often with an open mouth, as if speaking or singing) surrounded by children climbing on their lap, arms, shoulders, or legs—symbolizing the passing of stories, traditions, and knowledge across generations. The style spread to other Pueblos, with variations in clay type, size, number of children, and details.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antique American Indian Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47786227466405,"sku":"22-0447","price":220.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/6071\/5685\/files\/22-0447_3.jpg?v=1777674323","url":"https:\/\/antiqueamericanindianart.com\/products\/cochiti-pueblo-storyteller-pottery-doll-by-margaret-quintana","provider":"Antique American Indian Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
