Vintage Cochiti Polychrome Angel Figure by Felicita Eustace. Measures 3''H x 2.5''W. Sweet vintage piece of Cochiti pottery. The kneeling angel, polychromed, with a halo and a cross necklace. Her hands are clasped in prayer with her eyes closed. One wing has been artfully repaired and does not detract from this piece. Measures 3'' high x 2 1/2'' wide, signed by the artist, ''F. Eustace'', ''Cochiti''. Felicita was born in 1927 and raised at Cochiti Pueblo. She learned to make traditional pottery and storytellers from her parents. After her marriage during the World War II years, she moved to her husband Ben's home in Zuni. Ben taught her some basics of jewelry-making. She sold her first ring to legendary Zuni trader C. G. Wallace. Over the years she became an accomplished jeweler in her own right, while developing a large following for her pottery and storytellers.
