The Nose
Antoinette Concha
Taos and
Jemez, New Mexico
Antoinette Concha
from Taos and Jemez Pueblos, is the daughter of the well-known Alma Concha.
Antoinette has a delicate touch. Her figures are identically clothed in elegant
white colors. The faces are uniformly brown. The facial features are limited to
a prominent nose. The nose is a typical element in many Indian nativities. It is
the symbol of a living being. The nose is a sign that earth has come alive in a
human being. Similarly, the sameness of color, faces, and dresses reflects our
common origin from the earth. |
