Pottery Figure91.95.52

Standing pottery figures are unique to the Cochiti. These figures, called monos, were made from approximately 1890 to 1915, although this tradition has recently been revived. The majority of these figures represent non-Native American people satirically and reflect the wry observations of Pueblo people about non-Native American culture. This example typifies Cochiti figures, with loosely painted designs and an expression of laughter.
