Description: Many different styles of kachinas exist to provide different types of examples and guidance for the tribe. Each type has a particular set of characteristics and a distinctive personality. When impersonated, a costume, song style, and set of body movements are both repeated and unique. Kachinas are traditional Hopi figures, but, Navajo carve them also. Signed on the bottom "Wolf". Each Navajo Kachina is individually handcrafted and hand painted. No two are alike in materials used or clothing. Most kachinas are considered benevolent friends. Wolf - This kachina is a hunter who uses his knowledge to help villages locate and catch needed game animals, making certain that there will be enough food for the coming winter. Highly respected, the wolf usually shows up at the dance sneaking behind the antelope, deer or rabbits hiding behind his stick which represents trees and cover. Towards the end of dances, he is showered with offerings in hopes that the people may channel his skills as a hunter. This kachina is adorned with feathers, fur, leather and pleather. The raised foot is considered to be an action, or dancing kachina. Measurements: 5.5" tall x 3" wide x 2" deep The base is about 2" round Questions???
