Native American Made Badger Dancer Kachina Doll (Katsina Doll)

Description

Native American Made Badger Healer Katsina Doll by Sammie Walker (Navajo-Hopi)

The Badger (Honan) has great knowledge of roots and herbs and is sought for his wisdom and his ability to cure the sick by using herbal potions. This is a wonderful piece that is created in a style that is unusual today. Very few of the artists make the Native American dolls this way. The action is wonderful and the carving, painting and details are fabulous.
