Description from the seller

Beautiful Hopi kachina doll, representing Yuwahe (Deer Kachina), the deer spirit associated with hunting, abundance, and fertility.
Carved from cottonwood root (traditional material), it features rich polychromy and highly detailed carving: a sculpted collar in relief, a painted muzzle, serpentine body motifs, a ritual apron, and ceremonial boots.

The doll is signed under the base: “Hopi – Yuvahe Kiva – Deer”.
Hopi production from the second half of the 20th century.

Very beautiful presence, expressive sculpture, patina consistent with age.
