Native American Made Longhair Dancer Katsina Doll

The Longhair Katsina, originally from Zuni Pueblo, is a beloved figure on most Hopi Mesas. Recognizable by his loose hair cascading down his back to symbolize falling rain, the Longhair often appears in groups, performing a powerful and melodious song. This enchanting performance likely contributes to his popularity. Known for their role in invoking rain, the Longhair Katsinam are said to rarely dance without summoning a gentle rain to nourish crops.

This exquisite piece is crafted in a style that has become rare today, with few artists producing Native American dolls in this traditional manner. The artistry is exceptional, with meticulous carving, painting, and detailing, making it a truly remarkable work. ^
