Neil David, Sr. Hopi - Eagle Kachina - 24" wingspan, provenance provided. authentic, hand-carved Hopi Kachina (RS185)
This is an important collector's item meticulously crafted out of cotton wood by master Hopi artisan and legendary carver, Neil David, Sr. Neil was a featured artist at my gallery in 1990 and, believe it or not, carved this doll almost to completion while on the drive from Hopi to Chicago! He finished carving and painting it at the show and sold it to one of my collectors. The doll has been well loved and prominently displayed until recently when I was asked by the family to sell it for them. It is in perfect condition and a true example of Hopi cultural expression. Neil was a fabulous guest at the show sharing his traditions and his engaging sense of humor. It is an honor to offer this doll for the second time and a rare opportunity for you to own a once-in-a-lifetime acquisition: a standout among Hopi Kachinas for its size, detail, and spiritual significance. Just amazing!
