Animal: Dumha Dona Katsina Doll, Material: Cottonwood
This offering is sold.
Felino Eriacho's "Dumha Dona" katsina doll is hand-carved from cottonwood. He makes the pastel-like pigments from plants and minerals he forages, mixing them according to tradition and experience. This practice can take a full year to complete due to seasonal changes. These natural paints are mesmerizingly beautiful giving the carving a softly-aged appearance. The gorgeous blue hues are derived from lapis lazuli and turquoise. The carved feather element is securely glued to the hand, otherwise the entire woodwork is one piece. About 4 1/4" tall, 1 5/8" wide and 1 1/2" deep.
