Hopi Old Style Kachina Doll
This Hopi Old Style Kachina Doll is an early katsina that was fully carved from one piece of cottonwood. Acquired at a Native American auction recently and if you think the older the doll, the better.....then we're right there with you! His case mask displays half moon eyes and a forked zigzag (lightning) down the middle. Real cornhusk ears with a ruff of pine needles and hand felted wool. Whatever was in his hands is missing. As you see, there is wear and tear but is structurally sound. Possibly made circa mid 1940's per consignor. About 21" tall x 8-1/2" wide, he comes with the stand. This Hopi Old Style Kachina Doll is one of a kind! We could not identify this supernatural although he has the common markings of a lightning god.
