Hopi Kachina Dolls

These authentic Hopi dolls are an important part of our collection because they make us think about a cultural belief and life system that is so complex, yet so simple that it can help us all to learn much about living and life. There is much more to a doll than the intricate carving of a Hopi master. You certainly will want to include these as a core component of your Native American art collection.

Our collection represents a diversity of style, each an expression of the Hopi carver. Enjoy as you browse our collection. Also be sure to read about the extensive kachina database by Marek Plasota that is available at River Trading Post.

The Hopi Kachinas eKatalog is the most important kachina resource to be published in over 50 years.

Author Marek Plasota has created a database of over 413 Hopi kachinas with more than 2500 color photographs. The database describes each kachina, the ceremonies in which a kachina participates, and comparisons of similar appearing kachinas.

The database may be sorted by the Hopi or the Anglo name of the kachinas.

The database also cross-references the important works of Harold S. Coultin, Barton Wright, Oscar T. Branson, Eric Bromburg and Cliff Bahnimtewa.

The database comes packaged with the CD software.

This is a must for anyone that collects kachina dolls.
