RM Delgarito (Renanita Mae Delgarito or a related name; a Navajo carver from New Mexico known for traditional-style kachina carvings, including other figures like White Cloud Kachina).

Corn Maiden (Katsinmana or similar), a female figure symbolizing fertility, agriculture, and abundant harvests—especially corn, a sacred staple in Pueblo cultures. Corn Maidens are often depicted holding or associated with ears of corn (blue, yellow, black, etc.), gourds, or shells.

W. Yazzie (a Navajo carver; Yazzie is a common surname among Navajo artisans, with several producing kachina-style dolls like Water Bird, Snake Dancer, or Hoop Dancer variants).

Rainbow Kachina (sometimes called Tanqak or similar in Hopi contexts) symbolizes peace, harmony, unity between tribes/peoples, and often rainbows as signs of blessing or bridge between earth and sky.

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.
