Brown Buffalo Man Kachina by L. Begay, 1990 – Navajo Hand Carved Wood
Expressive Brown Buffalo Man Kachina by Navajo artist L. Begay, signed and dated “1990” on the underside with full Thoreau, New Mexico address. Skillfully hand-carved and painted wood figure adorned with thick natural fur, feathers, leather elements, and painted accents. The figure holds dual gourd rattles and a bow, wearing a woven textile kilt and dotted body paint, symbolizing strength, endurance, and protection. Mounted on a natural wood base, this piece exemplifies Begay’s distinct 1990s Navajo interpretation of traditional Hopi ceremonial Kachinas.
A striking and powerful representation with bold form and cultural resonance.
Condition:
Good overall condition. Minor age-appropriate wear to fur and paint, no visible damage or repairs. All attachments remain secure, and the figure presents strongly for display.
Dimensions:
Approx. 11 in (height) × 6 in (width) × 4 in (depth).
Soup can shown for scale.
