About the Item
Massive Five Foot Tall Navajo Kachina Doll is signed "by GUY V.Y." on the base, and titled "Eagle Dance" Guy Yazzie and his wife Pearl Zonnie Chee Horseherder Yazzie had at least 8-children and some tell of 12-children. The family lived on a Navajo Reservation in Howell Mesa, Arizona. The Eagle Dancer Kachina Doll, referred to as Kwahu, is a sacred figure in Indian culture. The Eagle Dancer represents strength, power, and is the link between the spiritual world and humans. Eagle Dancers are often featured in the Eagle Dance, a prayer for good crops and rain. There are no eagle feathers used to make this huge Kachina Doll and although a great decorative piece of American Indian art, it is far from any masterpiece. Over the years this Kachina Doll has seen its fair share of restorations and repairs. We would classify this very large 5-foot tall Kachina Doll as “great decorative art”, without breaking the bank.

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...
