Native American Made Ahote Kachina Doll - Yellow
Description
Native American Made Ahote Kachina Doll by Sammie Walker (Navajo-Hopi)
A'hote is considered a good hunter. He may appear in any of the directional colors, the two most common being the Yellow (Sikyahote) or the Blue (Sakwahote). The A'hote is the Grand Kachina Uncle of the Mixed Kachina Group and appears in the Mixed Dances. The A'hote is painted in two different ways. He appears with planets on his mask. The other A'hote version has a "split" mask with different colors on each side. Both seem to be derived from a Plains Indian because he wears a long trailing eagle feather headdress. 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.
