Traditional "Mudhead Spirit From The Kiva" Katsina

An important Zuni Pueblo religious ceremony called Sha'lak'o takes place one a year. During this time sacred Mudhead Katsinas appear. Tiffany Tsabetsaye is a wonderful carver of Mudhead Katsinas. His latest offering is "Mudhead Spirit From The Kiva" masterfully carved from traditional cottonwood and adorned with vibrant acrylic paints. The bold red and green colors are striking. A burnished base is decorated with a triangular trim pattern. Measurements including it are about 8" tall, 3 1/4" wide and 3" deep. Signed by the artist.
