Native American Hopi Carved Eagle Great Spirit Kachina Doll (Katsina Doll)

Description

Native American Hopi Carved Eagle Great Spirit Katsina Doll by Anthony Poleahla

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 is a really unusual carving of an Eagle by a new carver to Kachina House. You rarely see the Eagle with his wings both down. He has just landed and is ready to deliver his messages to the People from the Great Spirit.
