About the Item

A wonderfully hand-painted and decorated Native American Hopi Kachina Katsina doll. We believe this was a child's cradle first Kachina doll. It is hand carved from light wood (likely cottonwood). Kachina figures are believed to act as messengers between humans and the spirit world. From a fine Los Angeles collection of Native American objects and artifacts. We believe it is from the Mid-20th century but could be older. Would be a great addition to any Native American Kachina or artifacts collection or an eye-catching stand-alone accent piece in about any setting. Dimensions: 11" high, 7" wide, 3" deep.

Large Signed Native American Hopi Original Mudhead Kachina Katsina Doll on Stand

By Native American Art

Located in Studio City, CA

A wonderfully handcrafted/detailed and decorated Native American Hopi Mudhead Kachina doll. Quite an unusually large work. A striking piece overall. Hand painted with leather and possibly turquoise (necklace) accompaniment. Hopi katsina figures, also known as kachina dolls, are figures carved, typically from cottonwood root by the Hopi people. Initially, kachina dolls were made to instruct young girls and new brides about katsinas or katsinam, the immortal beings that bring rain, control other aspects of the natural world and society, and act as messengers between humans and the spirit world. The Mudhead or Koyemsi figure is viewed as a clown/joker figure who is responsible for laughter and entertainment at Hopi dances and ceremonial events. He plays drums and games to keep his audience engaged. The piece is signed by the artist under the base. From an extensive collection of Native American objects and artifacts. Would be a great addition to any Native American Art...
