Larry David was a master Hopi-Tewa carver from Polacca on First Mesa, Arizona (Katsina and Parrot Clans). Born in Keams Canyon, he began carving in the 1970s–1980s, specializing in all-wood traditional styles with added details like faux leather, yarn, and feathers. He was the brother of acclaimed painter and carver Neil David Sr., and great-grandson of Hopi-Tewa elder Lena Charlie. David's works often featured warrior, snake, and badger Kachinas, but he created over 1,600 documented pieces, including agricultural and floral variants. He passed away in 2006, making his dolls collector's items—values range from $200–$1,000+ depending on condition and rarity.
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.
