Pit-fired Earthling Sculptures

 Pit-fired Earthlings
“Allen's delightful Earthlings, ranging in height from 7 inches to almost 5 feet, could march forth bearing distinctive colors created by pit firing. Lined up like a ceramic army, the Earthlings are crowned with headdresses made from beads, yucca, raffia, metal and/or paint that impart an African ceremonial feel.”   To quote from an article on Allen’s work that appeared in The Arizona Republic.
