Andy & Sharon have created several kachina dolls in this era, including other figures like clowns, bears, warriors, etc., often vintage pieces now circulating in online marketplaces and Native American art collections.

The Snake Dancer (sometimes called Chusona or Tsu'sona in Hopi contexts) represents a figure associated with the Hopi Snake Dance ceremony—a sacred ritual involving live snakes to pray for rain and fertility. Note that in strict Hopi tradition, the Snake Dancer isn't always classified as a true "kachina" (spirit being) but as an important ceremonial participant or related doll.

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.
