Hopi White Bear Kachina Doll Small by Milton Howard 0016

Hopi White Bear Kachina Doll

This Hopi White Bear Kachina Doll was handmade by Milton Howard. Milton, a local resident who frequents our shop, transformed local cottonwood thru skill and paint to a sculpture of superb craftsmanship. Captured in mid-step, this spirit dance, Hon, is seen in Mixed dances and is said to be powerful enough to cure illness. From the black bear at his feet to the intricate helmet of fur on his head, the detail is awesome! The colorful jacla necklace, knee fringe, decorated breech cloth and snarling snout with protruding red tongue are exquisite. About 5-3/4" tall, including the base and 4” wide, this Hopi White Bear Kachina Doll is signed and named on the base.
