Fragua is a Native American potter from Jemez Pueblo (also known as Walatowa) in New Mexico. He was born in the 1950s and has created hand-built clay figures, primarily known for storyteller pottery—seated or standing figures with open mouths, surrounded by smaller child or animal figures representing the oral tradition of passing down stories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"display: none; mso-hide: all;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eHe makes all his pottery entirely by hand using traditional Pueblo methods: hand-coiling, shaping, painting with natural pigments, and firing. He is part of a large, multi-generational Fragua family of potters from Jemez Pueblo, which is renowned for its vibrant polychrome (multi-colored) figurative work, including storytellers, singing mothers, and animal or anthropomorphic figures. His wife is Linda Lucero Fragua, and he is the grandson of potter Emilia Loretto.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antique American Indian Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47758799437989,"sku":"22-0419","price":295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/6071\/5685\/files\/22-0419_3.jpg?v=1777100158","url":"https:\/\/antiqueamericanindianart.com\/products\/jemez-pueblo-frog-pottery-by-phillip-m-fragua","provider":"Antique American Indian Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
