Native American Made White Feather Beard Maiden Dancer Katsina Doll

Description

Native American Made White Feather Beard Maiden Dancer Katsina Doll by Sammie Walker (Navajo-Hopi)

We believe that the White Feather Beard Maiden is a dancer that represents the white corn, an important staple crop of the Native American. The feathers on the black long beard are prayer feathers. The long black beard represents the rain. 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.
