 Oke Oweenge

 Our first Bird Effigy - they didn't have anything else, so we picked this up.  Little did we know, that this part of the collection would take on a life of its own.
 
 
 

Several Atencios are San Juan potters, most notably Luteria Atencio, one of the seven original potters of the 1930"s "San Juan Revival", but we have no information on Gregorita (let us know if you do!)
