Vintage Native American Theme Framed Needle Point Wall Hanging
A real "knock your socks off" needle point featuring beautifully done items from the Four Corners area, Hopi, Zuni & Navajo, rustically framed & ready for an appreciative home.
The rustic frame is approximately 22" square & sets off an extremely well executed needle point "painting". It includes a Hopi clay pot, a Kachina Dancer, a Navajo rug & a squash blossom necklace which could be Zuni.
The colors are quite true to form for the items, even the necklace is done with metallic silver thread. This has been a favorite of mine, purchased from the estate sale of a local artist.
The frame is signed on the back: Teena Sterlachian Christmas 1978. I do not know if the artist was Native American, but her home was heavily decorated with Native American items.My photos do not do the piece justice.
The Navajo rug is actually a light brown with rust & black designs. The Hopi pot is a deep beige with rust & black designs. Thank you for shopping at The Treasure Chest. (Item ID:E-09)

3 Vintage Teissedre Figurines
A set of 3 original Teissedre "Story Teller" figures for your appreciation.
The figures are: Father Story Teller; Mama Story Teller; & Owl Story Teller. I believe they are representative of the American Indian Hopi or Navajo tribes.
They are by the original TEISSEDRE artists in Tucson, Az., started in 1979 & sold to the present owners in 1996.
Tll three pieces are signed: Teissedre 86 r; Teissedre 86 sty: & Teissedre 87 BP -- as nearly as I can decipher the signatures.
The figures range from approximately 2 3/4" to 3" tall, they are made of Hydrocal cement & are hand painted in fine, intricate detail. They are in excellent condition with only the Father having a scratch near the base.
These figures are wonderful pieces of art & make wonderful display pieces. They are available for the collector of American Indian piece items & also make wonderful gifts. Thank you for visiting The Treasure Chest.(Item ID:AA-18-DD)
