Alvin Navasie, who is from Polacca on First Mesa on the Hopi reservation, has done an excellent job carving this Kachina. Alvin was taught Hopi carving by his brother- in-law, Cecil Calnimptewa, who frequently shares his time with both Alvin and his brother Wally Navasie.

Alvin is one of 25 carvers featured in Theda Bassman's book, "Hopi Kachina Dolls and Their Carvers" on pages 104-107. Alvin is 37 years old and has been carving for over 20 years. The Kachina is signed on the bottom of the base: "Alvin Navasie, Sr."

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.
