Description

  • This is a Navajo Handcrafted Kachina Doll depicting the Owl. All artistry is hand carved and hand painted. This piece is signed by the artist and is noted as Owl. Owl is the protector of the home and represents wisdom and truth as well as the ability to see what others cannot.

  • The Owl Kachina measures approximately 12 inches tall and is approximately 5 inches wide at the widest point.

  • Kachina Dolls are gifts given in hope of future abundance and health, as well as tools for education. The Kachina dolls of today's art market are a bridge not only between the spiritual world and mortals but also between Hopis and non-Hopis. Each year Kachinas come, they walk upon the earth and they dance to bring life and renewal. When the Kachinas return to the spirit world at the end of the planting, they return with prayers of the people that we might all continue on this earth for anotherr round in the circle of life. There are more than 250 different Kachinas, each with its own separate attributes, representing everything from animals to abstract concepts. The Hopi were the original Kachina doll carvers, using a single piece of cottonwood root. The Navajo began carving in their own creative way, adding leather, feather, beads and turquoise. For over 2000 years the Native Americans of the Southwest have danced beneath the heavens, praying to the great spirits for rain and a bountiful harvest. These spirits are embodied by Kachinas, (ka chee`nas). Kachinas represent the spirits of created beings like the soaring eagle and the cunning wolf. During religious ceremonies, the Native Americans dress up in the elaborate costumes of Kachinas in a celebration of the harmony of creation.
