Navajo Badger Kachina (Honan) by Reina P – Hand Carved 2009, Healing Spirit
This striking Badger Kachina (Honan), hand-carved and painted by Navajo artist Reina P in 2009, beautifully embodies the spirit of healing central to Southwestern tradition. The Badger Kachina is known among Pueblo and Navajo carvers as a curing spirit, symbolizing strength, wisdom, and the sacred knowledge of herbs used in healing ceremonies.
Carved from natural wood and mounted on a bark-edged base, the figure is vividly adorned with painted ceremonial markings, genuine feathers, fur, beads, turquoise stones, and leather garments. The artisan’s confident lines and dynamic stance evoke both reverence and vitality, bringing the Honan’s energy to life.
Signed and dated 6-7-09 on the underside, this piece reflects the continuation of Navajo craftsmanship that honors ancestral teachings while speaking to modern collectors. A wonderful blend of art, culture, and spiritual tradition—an ideal addition to any Southwestern or Native American art collection.
