An wonderful example of the Hopi Tasaf Katsina circa early to mid 1940s.
Katsina dolls are visual representations of the katsinam, the essential life force of all animate beings. Traditionally, there were gifted to children in order to familiarize them with katsina songs and dances. By the early 1930’s, propelled by a growing tourist industry, workshops of artists produced carvings specifically for the non-Indigenous market.
Known as katsina dolls to non-Indigenous collectors, many of the carved and painted design elements reference sky elements or particular water formations. In Hopi cosmology, weather, conception, soil fertility, birth and plant life are closely related.
The persistent impact of Hopi and Zuni katsina dolls stretches to the present day, from the Bauhaus to contemporary performance art, epitomizing the enduring legacy of Native American art on modern art and design.

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...
