One of the three young riders evidently thinks they should be heading the other way…   This horse storyteller by Dorothy Herrera is 5.5 inches high and 7 inches long.   $180. |

![]() This expressive figurine by Larson Goldtooth from Hopi seems to be explaining the financial markets, economic theories and why we should all just remain calm while it works itself out.   At least that's what I think he's saying.   It stands 9.5 inches high.   $400. |

These three animal storytellers were made by Chris Fragua of Jemez Pueblo.
  We've been handling his work for getting on to twenty years now and he is

measures 6 inches long and 4.5 inches high, $185.
  The cat is 6 inches high and $1800 while the rabbit --his newest innovation--
is 6.5 by 5 inches and $185.

great-grandparents.   (We have a brief bio for him that accompanies each piece.) |
