Set of 3 Hand-Carved Kachina Dolls – Signed by Snyder & Yazzie
This set comprises three hand-carved and hand-painted Kachina dolls, each representing distinct figures from Native American traditions:
- Chaveyo (Ogre Kachina): Signed by Snyder, this figure embodies the disciplinarian spirit known among the Hopi as a symbol of authority and order.
