    During the 1880s, the potters of the Tesuque Pueblo in New Mexico began producing small pottery figurines. These were marketed as traditional and sacred ceremonial “Rain Gods.” In reality, they were neither traditional nor ceremonial and were produced strictly for the tourist trade. Today they are thought of as authentic expressions of indigenous art.
