Dora De Larios Signed Mexican American California Studio Pottery Sculpture

It was recently brought to our attention by a collector of her work that this piece was featured in a presentation at the Scripps Fine Arts Foundation and it was made in 1959. It is one of her earlier works. Quite rare and special in this respect.
De Larios was born in Los Angeles to Mexican immigrant parents. She grew up in the artistic Silver Lake district near downtown Los Angeles amongst Mexican and Nisei Japanese immigrants. As a result, De Larios was heavily influenced by ancient American...

Tsonoqua/Dzunkukwa "Wild Woman of the Woods" Totem
By Native American Art
Located in Coeur d'Alene, ID
Tsonoqua/Dzunukwa, “The Wild Woman of the Woods,” is an important ancestor figure to the Kwakwaka’wakw people of British Columbia. A giantess that fills important cultural roles during the potlatch, she is best known as a wealth-bringing being to those who encounter her and as a creature that parents tell their children stories about to make them behave and not venture far from the village – as she is also a cannibal and has been known to snatch stray children from the woods. She is the female counterpart of the male Bak’was, the Kwakwaka’wakw “Wild Man of the Woods.” Tsonoqua is analogous to the Coast Salish Sasq’ets, better known as Sasquatch, the Nuxalk Sniniq (female) and Buks (male), the Tsimshian Ba’oosh, the Haida Gagiit, the Athabaskan Hairy Man (or Woman), and the Tlingit Tl’anaxéedáakw. She is also what a lot of folks would call Bigfoot.
This pole is carved in a Coast Salish style but shows several Kwakwaka’wakw influences, so is perhaps better termed a female Sasq’ets pole. This pole shares a lot of stylistic elements with work by the Coast Salish Horne family and was perhaps carved by one of them. The features of the face that identify this pole as a Wild Woman are the tightly squinted eyes, the prominent cheekbones, and the pursed red lips that depict her making her telltale whistling call. Large breasts are created by “split-u” formline elements on her chest, motifs which are repeated (unpainted) on her arms and legs. Her hands and appropriately large feet are rendered naturalistically, and she is depicted in a kneeling position. A very fine example of Northwest Coast carving.
Period: Last quarter 20th century
Origin: Salish
Size: 49"H x 17'W.

19th Century American Applique Quilt in Southern Tulip Pattern
Located in Barrington, IL
Step back in time with this breathtaking 19th-century American appliqué quilt, lovingly hand-stitched in the late 1800s in the southern United States. Featuring the timeless “Southern Tulip” pattern, this heirloom piece showcases vibrant maroon and orange tulip blossoms with graceful green stems and leaves, all set against a warm ivory background.
A striking diamond border in green and maroon elegantly frames a grid of cream squares, each adorned with its own tulip motif. Every element of this quilt was meticulously hand-pieced and stitched with extraordinary attention to detail, reflecting the dedication and artistry of its maker.
A true labor of love, this antique quilt is more than just a textile—it’s a piece of American history. Highly collectible and increasingly rare, its delicate beauty makes it ideal not only as a cherished keepsake but also as a stunning tapestry-style wall art piece.
Whether displayed or preserved, this quilt is a celebration of craftsmanship, heritage, and timeless Southern charm.
