Authentic Vintage Antique Hopi Kachina Doll - Native American Southwest Indian
Item History & Price
Authentic Kachina Dollcirca 1950s
My wife's grandfather picked this up when he made a trek to the southwest back in the early 1950s. He used to be the State Geologist of Arkansas and might have been on an excavation trip at the time. This has been in my wife's family ever since.
Guessing this is carved from cottonwood. Maintains original paint, feather and string. As photos show, the wood has dried and there is a crack on the left foot and down... the back of the piece. Crack along the back appears to be pretty old. Feathers on top are beginning to come a bit loose from the doll -- still holds firm, though. Displays nicely and is still able to stand upright on its own. Measures roughly 8.5" tall.
Happy to provide more photos or answer questions if I can. Thanks for looking.
