Vintage White Ogre Kachina Doll
This Vintage White Ogre Kachina Doll by Loren Gashweseoma depicts Wiharu. Although he has an almost fiercesome face, he bargains with mothers to provide food for the village, and in turn won't carry their children away. He wears symbolic rain armbands and a leather cape with seashell accented bandolier. His cheeks are marked with the symbol for friendship. He's about 18" tall and 7-1/2" wide and is late 20th century; it's signed underneath with the notation "Ortega Collection". A wonderful offering, this Vintage White Ogre Kachina Doll is one of a kind!
There is no info available for Loren (1941-2017), but he is referenced in Bromberg's "The Hopi Approach to the Art of Kachina Doll Carving" and his family is referenced in Schaaf's "Hopi Katsina 1600 Artist Biographies".
