New Traditional Hopi Kachinas |
|
|||||||
|
The first Kachina dolls were carved in what is called "Early Traditional Style." These dolls appeared between 1880 and 1910. These dolls were flat or cylindrical and very simple in form and carving, and painted with native mineral pigments.
These "New Traditional Style" Kachinas are an artistic movement which is firmly rooted in these old ways, but these dolls are by no means simply copies of the Early Traditionals. There are distinct features that set them apart, ranging from the carving, sanding and painting styles to more obvious changes in body proportions, posture, feet and faces. Carvers and collectors alike appreciate this style not only for the step back in time to what Kachinas looked like before any influences from the white man, but more importantly, the rich Hopi culture that these New Traditional Kachinas represent. Please call for current availability. These are one-of-a-kind pieces and therefore we cannot guarantee that what is pictured here is still available. We will e-mail you what we have in the shop at the moment. Contact us! |
