Miniature Hopi Owl Maiden Katsina Doll

An exquisitely featured small-sized Hopi Owl Maiden Katsina doll is hand-carved from cottonwood and hand-painted with lively acrylic paints by Alvin Leon. Katsinas are powerful and immortal spirits to the Hopi Pueblo People. Katsina dolls are representations of sacred beings and are not sacred themselves. Alvin added leather, pipe cleaner, feathers and embroidery thread to this fine woodwork that is signed by the artist. About 4 1/2" tall, 2 3/8" wide and 1 3/4" deep, measurements include base.
