Hand-Carved “Badger” Kachina Doll – Signed M.S., 11" Tall
This hand-carved “Badger” Kachina doll embodies the tradition of honoring Katsinam—spiritual beings that bridge the physical and spiritual worlds. Signed “M.S.” on the underside of the base, this piece likely represents the Badger Kachina, associated with healing, tenacity, and a deep connection to the earth.
Crafted from wood and adorned with leather, yarn, feathers, and fur, the doll features a boldly painted face, a feathered headdress, and holds a bow and rattle—elements characteristic of the Badger Kachina. The use of natural materials and traditional motifs reflects the Hopi artisans' dedication to cultural preservation.
Condition:
In good condition with no noted damage. All decorative elements, including feathers and fur, are secure. Light signs of age-related wear but nothing that detracts from the presentation.
Dimensions:
11 x 6 x 3 inches
