Vintage Hopi Hemis Butterfly Kachina Doll
This Vintage Hopi Hemis Butterfly Kachina Doll was handmade by Donald Kopelva. This traditional Dancer appears at a Thanksgiving dance for the corn harvest, and features many unmasked maidens. She wears a traditional black manta (dress), a jacla necklace and carries Douglas fir branches. Bare footed and bare shouldered, she stands on a carved village with steps and a prayer shrine. The hand carved and painted cottonwood is about 12-1/4" tall and 3" at the widest. Refurbished by Milton Howard, this Vintage Hopi Hemis Butterfly Kachina Doll is signed on the base.
Donald (1937- ) is a Third Mesa carver. He is referenced in Schaaf's "Hopi Katsina 1600 Artist Biographies".
