Geneve Bitonie Navajo Storyteller Figurine 5 Children Signed Folk Art Pottery

Vintage handmade Navajo storyteller figurine attributed to Geneve Bitonie (Bitioni) featuring a seated mother figure surrounded by five children.

Traditional storyteller figures symbolize the passing down of stories, history, and culture through generations, making them meaningful decorative pieces and collectible folk art.

The GB signature on bottom, marking on the back, along with the more minimal painted clothing decoration are characteristic of the artist’s earlier production style, which suggests dates to the 1980s, prior to later pieces that often show more detailed surface embellishment.

Earth tone clay with hand-painted detailing.

Approximate size: 4 inches tall 3 inches wide

Condition: Pre-owned. Please see photos and closeups.
