Description

Buffalo Warrior Kachina Doll by F. Yazzie, Navajo Made

Traditional hand-carved Buffalo Warrior Kachina doll, signed on the underside “F. Yazzie, Buffalo Warrior, Navajo Made.” This dynamic carving depicts the Buffalo Warrior spirit poised with bow and shield, symbolizing strength and protection. Crafted from natural wood and adorned with real fur, leather fringe, and painted details, the figure captures the ceremonial reverence associated with this sacred protector spirit.

The attached booklet, The Kachina Story by Troy Walk-So-Lightly, describes the Buffalo Warrior as a spiritual guardian who keeps out the influence of evil and upholds mental strength. A striking representation of Navajo craftsmanship and cultural symbolism, ideal for collectors of Native American art or Southwestern decor.


Condition

In very good condition overall, with light surface wear consistent with age. Minor paint loss visible on the underside of the base. Materials—including fur and leather trim—remain intact and well-preserved, with no noted repairs or structural damage.
