Description

🔹 C. Tsosie Hopi Shalako Long Hair Kachina — Hand-Carved Cottonwood, 18"

Hopi Shalako Long Hair Kachina by C. Tsosie, signed on the underside. Hand-carved from a single piece of cottonwood root and painted in traditional ceremonial colors, this kachina blends the sacred symbolism of two revered Hopi figures: Shalako, the rain messenger, and Long Hair (Angak’china), the bringer of harmony and fertile crops. The figure features detailed feather and fur adornments, geometric motifs, and a dynamic posture suggesting movement or dance. A vibrant and culturally rich example of Hopi artistry, ideal for collectors or display.


🔹 Condition:

In good condition overall, with minor wear consistent with age. There is feather loss at the top and small surface marks, but the paint and carving remain vivid and intact.


🔹 Dimensions:

18 x 3 x 4.5 inches
