Holy Family (New Mexico)
This Native American nativity from New Mexico was made on the Isleta Pueblo. The figures were created from clay with a white slipware glaze. After the figures have been fired, the glaze is burnished or polished with a stone. Note that even though the figures contain only four colors, each pattern used on the robes is unique. All the human figures have mouths opened in an "O" of wonder and astonishment, even though their eyes are demurely lowered. The Child is presented in an elevated pedestal, and is clothed in a tiny robe similar to the ones worn by the adult figures.
