K700 - Hopi Badger Kachina (Katsina) - Artist: D. Adams - Description: This Kachina is a contemporary design uniquely displayed by each Native American Artist. This handcrafted artwork is an authentic replica carved entirely from a single piece of wood. Their personal attention to detail is astounding. The old Hopi Badger Kachina was a curing Kachina that the Honani Clan brought from the ancient village of Kisiwu. The Badger Kachina is the most wise of all the advisors. He is responsible for prayers to cure the sick and for the growth of healing herbs. This magnificent Kachina is posed in action holding rattles used in the dance. He is intricately hand painted bearing the Badger paw print on each cheek and flowered sash on his skirt. This exquisitely detailed Kachina measures 15" tall x 4" wide x 4" deep. It is securely attached to the base with wooden pegs, making it extremely sturdy. This Native American creation comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.
