Vintage Hopi Mudhead Kachina Doll
This Vintage Hopi Mudhead Kachina Doll by Al Sahmie depicts Koyemsi. This dancer appears in the Mixed Kachina Dances along with other clowns. Hand carved from cottonwood, he's painted in the traditional manner and trimmed with feathers, leather, fur, yarn and stiffened canvas. He carries a bow and wears armbands and a ketoh cuff. He's 15-1/2" tall (includes base) and 7-1/2" at its widest, circa 1980's and is signed. A wonderful rendering, this Vintage Hopi Mudhead Kachina Doll is one of a kind.
There is little info available for Al other than he is Hopi/Tewa and his work is in the collection of the Heard Museum, Phoenix. He is referenced in Schaaf's "Hopi Katsina 1600 Artist Biographies".
