Tribal Art - Hopi Kachina Statuette
French collection.
Traditional Kachinam dolls are educational tools given to children by the Pueblo Native American peoples (Hopi, Zuni, Tewa, Acoma and Laguna Pueblo) at the end of ritual ceremonies. Among the Hopi, from the age of six, boys begin their initiation into the Kachina cult, a tribute to the ancestors. These highly decorative dolls come to life during traditional dances that accompany the annual festivities dedicated to rain. Representing masked kachina dancers, these figurines embody a wide variety of spirits, their colors being symbolically associated with the cardinal points.
