Vintage Signed Ceramic Native American Mother & Baby Statue 10” Hand Painted

This vintage, hand-painted ceramic statue depicts a Native American mother holding her baby, a tender and expressive scene rendered in detailed sculptural form. The piece stands approximately 10 inches tall and is signed on the bottom “Jewel Kopczynski – Madill, Okla – 7-19-80 – Byron Molds,” indicating both the artist and mold origin, which adds collectible interest for folk art and studio pottery enthusiasts.

The statue shows honest vintage wear and some damage consistent with age and display. Full transparency: there is a small chip on the bottom of the blanket, a repainted chip on the bottom left of the blanket, and paint splatter on the back of the piece. All noted flaws and wear are clearly shown in the detailed photos. Despite these issues, the figure presents well from the front and retains strong visual appeal.

This piece works well as vintage Southwestern decor, Native American-inspired display, or collectible studio art.
