Honeyestewa or similar variations like Albert in listings) was a respected Hopi artisan known for crafting detailed kachina dolls from cottonwood root, a sacred material in Hopi tradition. These dolls are hand-carved, painted, and often adorned with natural elements like feathers or leather. He created various katsinas, including figures like Longhair, Mocking, and others seen in auctions and sales from the late 20th century (e.g., 1980s–1990s pieces).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKokopelli is depicted as a hunched-back flute player, often portrayed as a fertility deity, seducer, trickster, and bringer of babies or abundance. He typically carries a bag of seeds or goods over his back, plays a flute to spread joy and fertility, and has a distinctive arched posture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDue 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. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antique American Indian Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45877528559781,"sku":"210816-91","price":345.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/6071\/5685\/files\/s725348264778838518_p8564_i12_w657.jpg?v=1757346377","url":"https:\/\/antiqueamericanindianart.com\/products\/210816-91-hopi-kokopelli-kachina-katsina-11-by-alfred-honeyestewa","provider":"Antique American Indian Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
