Poley or Burton Abbott Poley) is a Hopi artist and kachina (katsina) carver from the Hopi Reservation in Arizona.

He transitioned to serious full-time one-piece kachina sculptures around the late 1980s (when he was about 29). His work is hand-carved from cottonwood root using traditional tools like a pocketknife, involving days or weeks of detailed thought and fine-tuning for features, masks, and forms. Dolls are typically painted with natural pigments and can stand around 17–18 inches tall (including base).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antique American Indian Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45877197537445,"sku":"5111-44","price":2490.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/6071\/5685\/files\/s725348264778838518_p3793_i1_w531.jpg?v=1757348233","url":"https:\/\/antiqueamericanindianart.com\/products\/5111-44-hopi-kachina-burt-poley-17-1-2-incl-base","provider":"Antique American Indian Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
