These beautiful clay sculptures are the work of Maxine Toya from the Jemez Pueblo here in New Mexico. This is a quote from a gallery website "Maxine is from a prominent family of potters: grandmother Persingula Gachupin, mother Marie G. Romero, sister Laura Gachupin, and daughters Dominique and Camilla Toya were and are respected, prize-winning artists. In addition to being a noted award-winning potter."

What sweet crèche figures! This is one of my favorites so far.
Pretty talented family, I'd say.
Very nice Randy.
Wonderful sculptures of the singers. With the donkey and lamb in the group I feel as if Im viewing a celebration of the Natividad.
Quite an artist !
You know Randy, all things considered it's good that I'm nowhere near SF in August. :-) This is such a lovely scene, so pretty, reverent...
Not really my kind of thing, but they are lovely...
they're really beautiful.
A family of potters, wonderful tradition to pass down through the family Randy.
I LOVE these. I'd have a very hard time passing these up.
beautiful :D
Sweet!
Love the colors.
They are absolutely adorable! I love everything about them.
She certainly has her very own style and color scheme. It's very attractive. I can see why the family is so highly regarded for their art work.
Randy, these are amazing. Such details and wonderful colors, too. Thanks for getting this photo for us.
They are quite lovely. I would love to have these for a Christmas display.
Love these figures.. it almost looks like a Native American nativity...
Just awesome!
Beautiful work and how wonderful that the craft is kept in the family.
