Navajo Buffalo Kachina Doll

$85.00

This genuine handcrafted Navajo Kachina doll is an authentic Native American wood-carved Buffalo Kachina.  The Buffalo Kachina doll is considered the most powerful of all the Kachinas who have the ability to destroy evil thoughts and is considered a great spiritual protector. This is a treasured Kachina to the Hopi and Navajo Native Americans.  The Kachina doll features a whitewash body with a red suede/leather kilt accented with hand-painted Native American designs and a rabbit fur headdress accented by black wooden buffalo horns adorned with red suede tassels.  The Kachina doll has a matching brown fur chest and back covering.  The Kachinas face is hand-painted wood.  It has a red suede leather ankle, kilt, wrist, and arm tassel accents.  It holds a bow and arrow decorated with black feathers. The Native American art piece is posed crouching on one knee to simulate a hunting stance. The entire piece is authentic hand-crafted and painted and rests atop a wood core platform.  This beautiful Native American wood-carved, hand-painted, art piece is a fantastic example of a Navajo and Native American Kachina collectible item.

Description

Hopi katsina figures, also known as kachina dolls, are figures carved, typically from cottonwood root, by the Hopi people to teach and instruct their people about katsinas or katsinam, the immortal beings or spirits that bring rain and fertility to crops, cure diseases, punish transgressions and control other aspects of the natural world and society, acting as messengers between humans and the spirit world.

The Hopi were the original Katsina Doll carvers, using a single piece of cottonwood root. The Navajo have often borrowed from many tribes and began carving their own style of kachina dolls, adding leather, feather, beads, and turquoise. These kachina dolls can be made from other sources of wood and are not intensely carved from one piece of wood such as the Hopi method. They can be several pieces of wood glued or pinned together. Therefore they can be made much more quickly and are usually are less expensive than an original Hopi Katsina.

The Hopi tribes are the original Katsina carvers but the Navajo Kachina creativity and use of leather, feather, beads, and turquoise make for some beautiful art pieces as well and have a following of their own. Navajo Kachina dolls may not have the same tribal significance as the original Hopi Kachina dolls.
