Kachina dools

Kachinas are stylized religious icons carved from cottonwood root and painted to represent figures from the mythology of the Hopi. These "dolls" have been used for generations to teach children about their religion. Hopi children have never taken a Kachina to bed. They dolls are made ONLY by Hopi artists.
