Description

Navajo Kokopelli Kachina Doll – Hand-Carved Wood, Turquoise, Signed E.C.

Hand-carved Navajo Kokopelli Kachina doll, signed “E.C.” on the base. Crafted from wood with leather, feathers, and turquoise stone accents, this expressive carving depicts the Kokopelli, the legendary flute-playing spirit associated with fertility, joy, and abundance in Southwestern Native tradition. The figure’s bent posture, painted turquoise body, and vivid red leather bands evoke the rhythmic energy of ceremonial dance, while the feathered white-and-blue headdress adds striking dimension.

Although Kachina figures originate with the Hopi and Pueblo peoples, Navajo artisans have long created folk-art interpretations inspired by these ceremonial icons. This signed example reflects that crossover tradition—a distinctive fusion of Navajo craftsmanship and Pueblo-inspired symbolism. An engaging collectible piece that embodies the spirit and artistry of the Southwest.
