Native American Hopi Carved Eagle Great Spirit Katsina Doll

Description

Native American Hopi Carved Eagle Great Spirit Katsina Doll by Patrick Howard

Eagle (Kwahu) dances to increase the number of eagles and is a spiritual figure to the Hopi. He is treated with honor at all times as, among other responsibilities, the Eagle is the messenger between the people and their spirit guides. This an incredible piece by Patrick Howard. The flip at the ends of the wings is difficult to carve and wonderfully executed.
