Larry Gallegos is a Hopi artist known for carving katsina dolls since at least the 1980s (sometimes listed as Lawrence Dallas or similar). He has created various figures, including this Konin example, as well as others like Warrior Mudhead katsinas. His works are collected and sold through galleries specializing in Native American art.
The Hopi Pueblo Konin (Supai Kachina), also known as the Havasupai Dancer Kachina, is a traditional katsina (kachina) doll representing the Havasupai people, the Hopi's neighbors to the west in Arizona (often called "Supai" after their main village in the Grand Canyon).

"The Supai kachina represents the Havasupai people. This kachina appears usually during the water kiva ceremonies or during the spring and summer ceremonies. This kachina also is referred to as the Havasupai uncle or Havasupai side dancer who will dance beside other kachinas and motions to the song that is being sung during the ceremony." 

Due to the fragile nature of kachina dolls, we do not guarantee they will not break during shipping. We do our best to pack them well, but due to their fragile nature and even with the best packing, small pieces can break. If you are purchasing kachina dolls, please keep this in mind.
