Native American Navajo Made Double Mudhead Kachina Doll

Description

Native American Navajo Made Double Mudhead Kachina Doll by Alfred Benally

The Mudhead leads the racers into the village and challenges villagers in contests to prove their strength. During the rests in a dance, Mudheads may engage in games with the boys and girls in the audience. At other times, only a single Mudhead may appear as a drummer for a group. Should a dancer not have the proper mask or be late in arriving, he can easily become a Mudhead by donning that mask. These two Mudheads seem to be enjoying each other and the beat of the drum.
