Vintage Hopi Butterfly Kachina Doll
This Vintage Hopi Butterfly Kachina Doll sometimes in the late 20th century. This hand carved cottonwood depicts a maiden, who is beautifully dressed and usually not masked, as in this example. She appears in August and encourages butterflies to pollinate, to bring about a good harvest. Featuring long black hair, she's quite a beauty. Her detailed sash along with her painted skirt are traditionally decorated. She's about 9-1/2" tall (includes base) and about 3-1/2" wide. Signed withthe original price tag for $1680 still attached. Professionally restored by Milton Howard, this Vintage Hopi Butterfly Kachina Doll is one of a kind!
Melvin Sam Tewangoitewa (Sam Tewa) lives in Lower Moenkopi village near Third Mesa. He likes to carve in his spare time and has taught his son Gary to continue his legacy.
