Cochiti Storyteller pottery refers to a distinctive genre of figurative clay figurines created by artists from the Cochiti Pueblo, a Native American community located about 25 miles southwest of Santa Fe, New Mexico. These pieces celebrate the Pueblo's oral storytelling tradition, where elders pass down cultural histories, folklore, and values to younger generations through spoken narratives. The figurines typically depict a central seated figure—often a grandfather, grandmother, or even an animal—with children clustered around them, mouths open in rapt attention and eyes closed in concentration.
