Description

Native American Made Buffalo Warrior Dancer Katsina Doll by Sammie Walker (Navajo-Hopi)

Like most animal Katsinam, the Buffalo (Mosairu) dances to increase his kind. This Katsina is very well-known and is the most powerful. He can kill any evil thoughts and is a great spiritual protector. This particular piece is a warrior. He is dancing for the success of the buffalo hunt. 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 very accurate.
