This Upcycled Picture Shows A Kachina Doll, Which Is A Small Carved Figure Representing A Kachina Spirit. There's So Many Different Kinds Of Kachina Dolls And Though I Looked For This Exact One, I Was Unable To Find One. Here Is Some General Information I Found On the Hopi Kachina Dolls. (I don't know if this one is Hopi or not and I apologize for that.)"Kachina dolls are usually wood with painted designs. They are carved from cottonwood
...>roots and can be 1 to 18 inches tall. They can be male or female, shaped and painted to depict
clowns, spirits, the seasons, maidens and braves. They sometimes have eagle feather
headdresses, leather boots and jewelry that has been handed down from previous
generations. They are a common sight hanging on the walls in Hopi households."- This is a neat picture whether you like their history or simply like the interesting way the look!FRAMES SEEN HERE ARE FOR SAMPLE PURPOSES ONLY AND NOT INCLUDED WITH THE LISTING. I SHOW THEM SO YOU CAN SEE HOW GREAT THEY LOOK WHEN FRAMED!
