Sunface Kachina Doll by M.A. Brody — Hand-Carved, Signed 1993
Signed “M.A. Brody” and dated 1993, this hand-carved and painted Sunface Kachina doll represents the Hopi spirit of harmony, balance, and life-giving energy. The piece features a vividly painted Sunface mask framed by natural feathers, with accents of real leather, fur, and a patterned textile kilt—all mounted on a rustic bark-edged wood base.
The artist skillfully combines traditional materials and bright pigments to evoke movement and ceremonial presence. The doll holds a feather and a red rattle, with a dynamic stance and colorful leg wraps completing the figure. Though not widely documented, Brody's work reflects a strong grasp of Kachina symbolism and Southwest folk art traditions.
A lively, textural figure ideal for collectors of Native American-inspired carvings and ceremonial art.
