2000 Zuni Storyteller Doll by M.L. Kokaly, micaceous clay measures 2.5'' x 2'' x 2'', signed and dated on the bottom by artist, Artist Bio: ''Mary Lou (Zuni, maiden name) Kokaly is a Native American of Pueblo Indian descent. MaryLou is a third generation potter. Her maternal grandparents and her mother of San Juan Pueblo were also potters. Her father is from the Isleta Pueblo. Her mother, Christine Povi Suni, has been making pottery and attending Native American Art Shows for over thirty years. She taught MaryLou traditional Pueblo pottery techniques and the making of clay story tellers. MaryLou's formal art education began when she attended college to pursue her interest in three dimensional art. She received her Bachelor degree in Fine Arts from the University of New Mexico in 1986 and her certification in Art Education in 1989. Her storytellers are still made using traditional hand building methods of coiling, pinch pots, and slab, they also reflect contemporary art mediums. These storytellers are painted with colorful, vibrant acrylic paints then fired in an electric kiln. Detailed attention is given to the traditional costume attire and jewelry accessories. As the mother of three children and a school teacher the making of storyteller pottery has deep personal significance to MaryLou. Because the storyteller reflects the importance of parenthood and the teaching of young children.''
