Kokopelli Third Mesa Kachina
This Katsina Kokopelli Third Mesa is often associated with music and fertility. The artist carved it from wood. He wears a white shirt with spotted leggings and a brown yarn sash across his chest. On his arms he has green felt arm bands, a brown yarn wrist band and a leather wrist band. Brown yarn garters appear above his boot style moccasins. His black and white mask has a black and white collar, a long white nose and red paddle ears with leather earrings. White Feathers appear on the top. The artist painted his traditional oval shaped eyes with dots over them. This figure carries a stick in his left hand and a green rattle in his right hand. One of a Kind!
Katsinas (or Kachinas) are supernatural beings in the Pueblo Indian traditions. The Pueblo tribes create Katsina dolls to give to children. Children use them to learn about the various Katsinas and not to play with. This Katsina Kokopelli stands about 11 inches high and will stand on its own. This figure came from a collection so you will see slight signs of dust and wear. The right foot broke and someone repaired it. One of a Kind!
