Native American-Made Jingle Dancer Katsina Doll
Jingle Dress dancing has great spiritual power, which originates as energy generated from the sound of the cones that sing out to the spirits when the dancer lifts her feet in time with the drum. The very act of dancing in this dress is a prayer for healing, and often spectators, musicians, and other dancers will make gifts of tobacco to a dancer and request that she pray for an ill family member while she dances. Very few of the artists make the Native American dolls this way. The action is wonderful and the carving, painting, and details are very accurate.
Dimensions: 18 inches tall
