Katsinas are powerful and immortal spirits to the Hopi Pueblo People. They are called tithu or katsintithu, sacred supernatural beings who function as messengers between the spiritual worlds. Katsina dolls are representations of these beings and are not sacred themselves. Virgil Long is a wonderful woodworker of cottonwood creating colorful acrylic-painted Katsina dolls like his latest offering, Turtle Boy. Including base, measurements are about 6 5/8" tall, 2 5/8" wide and 2 1/8" deep. Signed by the artist.
