B. David is a Navajo carver known for pieces like hoop dancers, bear kachinas, and similar figures—often signed on the base. These are typically carved from wood (like cottonwood root in Hopi style), painted vibrantly, and adorned with feathers, fur, leather, or other natural materials to depict the dancer's regalia, including elements like corn motifs, spotted patterns, rattles, or dance poses.

The Spotted Corn variant (sometimes called Avachhoya or similar) symbolizes corn with spotted or multicolored elements, appearing in dances for growth and harvest.
