Mud Head Kachina Doll

The Mud Head Kachina Doll represents a revered figure in Hopi and Navajo spiritual traditions, embodying sacred deities and ancestral spirits. Meticulously hand-carved from cottonwood root, this authentic piece showcases traditional craftsmanship enhanced with natural materials including feathers and fur. Each doll carries cultural significance as a ceremonial representation, making it a meaningful addition to collections that honor Native American heritage and artistry. A distinctive and spiritually resonant decorative piece.

• Kachina dolls originated with the Hopi tribe and were given to children during ceremonies to teach them about their history and traditions.
• They are considered religious icons to be studied, not toys to be played with.
• The Navajo tribe later adopted the tradition, often creating more decorative versions with materials such as leather, beads, and turquoise.
