Vintage Mocking Kachina Doll
This Vintage Mocking Kachina Doll by Wilmer Kaye depicts Kwikwilyaka. This Clown Katsina seizes upon a nearby personality and then takes it on as his own. This ridicule, which is an annoyance to the one being made fun of, usually produces gales of laughter from everyone else. The cottonwood is hand carved and painted in the traditional manner. He's wearing a pair of jeans, a buckskin jacket and carries a gourd rattle and stick. He has cedar bark hair that may or may not be set on fire by the Hó-e during the Bean Dance. Circa 1990's, he's 9-3/4" tall (including base) & 3-5/8" wide and is signed under the base. It's in very good used, original condition. Absolutely wonderful, this Vintage Mocking Kachina Doll is one of kind!
Wilmer (1952- ) was born into the Badger Butterfly Clan in Hotevilla, Arizona. He is an award winning artisan, who started carving in 1965. He comes from an extremely talented family of jewelers and carvers that include his uncle, Charles Loloma (1921-1991). His work is highly sought after both by museums and private collectors. He is referenced in Schaaf's "Hopi Katsina 1600 Artist Biographies" and Bromberg's "The Hopi Approach to Kachina Doll Carving", as well as many more.
