Wood Native American Objects

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...

Exceptional mid-century Native American painted drum from the Cochiti Pueblo region of New Mexico, dating to circa 1950. A striking example of Southwestern Pueblo folk art and traditional craftsmanship, this substantial drum is constructed with stretched hide over a carved wooden frame and features a boldly hand-painted geometric design in white, black, and orange. The strong graphic pattern, earthy materials, and naturally aged surface give this Cochiti Pueblo drum a compelling presence that bridges Native American art, Southwestern design, and mid-century interiors. Its generous scale makes it particularly effective as a sculptural decorative object, whether displayed prominently on a stand, incorporated into a curated collection, or used as a distinctive focal point in a Western or Southwestern-inspired interior. The combination of painted hide, carved wood, geometric ornament, and authentic age-related patina reflects the character of mid-20th-century Pueblo craftsmanship. Wear, minor fading, and small losses are consistent with age and use and contribute to the object's authentic vintage character. A distinctive collectible for those interested in Native American art, Pueblo objects, Southwestern antiques...

A beautiful, somewhat benevolent mask by the Yup'ik (Yupik) aboriginal, indigenous people of South-Western & South Central Alaska. The Yup'ik people, who are related to the Inuit peoples, have a long history of ceremonial mask making. Yup'ik masks were originally and specifically designed by Shamans and made to be worn by these spiritual leaders in Winter tribal dances and sacred ceremonies. Traditionally, the masks were destroyed or discarded after use in these ceremonies. Very few of these masks survived. After Christian contact in the late 19th century, masked dancing was suppressed and the tradition all but died out. As more outsiders settled in Alaska at the turn of the century, masks were made by the Yup'ik people to sell or trade for necessary goods. It is likely that this mask was created some years later for this purpose. In the 20th century, Yup'ik mask had a profound influence on many renowned surrealist artists including, Max Ernst, Joan Miro, Leonora Carrington, Victor Brauner, and most notably Andre Breton who was an avid collector of Yup'ik masks. This fantastic anthropomorphic mask is carved of lighter wood and hand painted/ decorated with pigment. The mask seems to represent some sort of smiling, benevolent spirit or character. The mask is from a French collection. We were told that this mask, as well as others in the collection we have listed, was acquired originally in the 1950s-1960s in Alaska and the Yukon territory in Canada but as we have no way to verify or authenticate this. Please note we are listing the masks as decorative and not as actual tribal artifacts...
