Hand Carved from Cottonwood Root with Great Carved Detail
In Very Good Condition
Earl Arthur was a Hopi carver active primarily in the late 20th century (with works commonly from the 1980s–1990s and into the early 2000s). He is known for detailed, traditional katsina dolls made from cottonwood root, often signed on the base (e.g., "EARL ARTHUR HOPI" followed by the katsina name). His pieces frequently appear in vintage Native American art sales, including depictions of Owl, Yellow Ahote, Kokopel'mana, Kau-A-Mana, Mudhead, and others.
Aha or Kuzrua is one of the Chief Katsinam of Second Mesa and appears only on this mesa during Bean Dance. He appears in a short Kiva rite after the performance of the Qoqoqlo, Ahola, Eototo and Kokosori when they bless the village.
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.
