Description

N. Yazzie “Hoop Dancer” Kachina Doll — Hand-Carved Wood, Leather & Turquoise

Signed “Hoop Dancer / N. Yazzie” on the base, this striking hand-carved Kachina doll reflects the artistry of Native Southwestern craftsmanship. The figure depicts a traditional Hoop Dancer, an iconic symbol of rhythm and storytelling in ceremonial culture. Skillfully fashioned from wood and adorned with natural leather, fur, feathers, and turquoise accents, the piece rests on a cut-wood base with attached Kachina Lore tags explaining the cultural meaning of these figures. The doll’s expressive form, circular dance hoops, and detailed regalia emphasize movement and balance, making it both a visual and cultural treasure.

Condition:
Excellent condition overall, with no visible damage. Surfaces, feathers, and turquoise embellishments remain intact and vibrant, as shown.

Dimensions:
Approx. 14" H × 8" W × 9" D
(Campbell’s soup can shown for scale.)
