Hopi Kachina Doll by Chimerica – “Sun Clan,” Hand-Carved & Painted
Authentic Hopi Kachina doll signed “Chimerica – Sun Clan” on the base, featuring the distinctive sun emblem associated with this Hopi lineage. The figure is meticulously hand-carved from wood and hand-painted in vivid ceremonial tones of red, black, and white. Adorned with natural fur, soft leather, shells, and string accents, the Kachina holds a bow and rattle—traditional symbols of spiritual strength and vitality.
The Chimerica family—including Darance, Burke, and R. Chimerica—is a recognized group of Hopi artisans known for exceptional craftsmanship in both contemporary and traditional Katsina carvings, with numerous examples documented in the WorthPoint archive and regional auctions. The “Sun Clan” reference connects this work to the Tawa, or Sun Spirit, an important symbol of life, warmth, and renewal in Hopi culture.
A finely executed and expressive example of Hopi artistry, blending cultural authenticity with striking visual detail—ideal for collectors of Native American art or Southwestern folk sculpture.
