Item Details
Description
Native American, Southwestern USA, Arizona or New Mexico, Hopi Peoples, ca. early to mid-20th century CE. A hand-carved wood kachina boasting a simplistic form of a sizeable head with a prominent chin and a flat, rectangular body, all painted in hues of red, green, and black. The fascinating figure gazes forward with arms bent at the elbows and hands resting on chest. The face is capped by a flat hat and divided into thirds with slit-form eyes and a straight mouth, as a lengthy coiffure or veil drapes down the back. Liberal remains of gray and red string adorn the top and sides of his head, as well as serve as a choker necklace. Size: 3.1" W x 8.3" H (7.9 cm x 21.1 cm)

Provenance: ex-John B. Kendrick II collection, Denver, Colorado, USA, acquired 1965 to 1990; John B. Kendrick II was that son of John B. Kendrick, Wyoming governor and US senator
