His dolls are often signed on the base (look for “Ramon Albert,” “Hotevilla, AZ,” or a small hand-drawn rabbit hallmark). Similar examples of his Broad Face dolls measure around 12–13 inches tall and appear in museum collections and the secondary market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBroad Face is a disciplinary or “whipper” katsina. He appears in Hopi ceremonies to maintain order, often accompanying other figures and using yucca whips (though this doll holds simpler accessories or none visible in the photo). He teaches respect and proper behavior to children.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antique American Indian Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47721973612709,"sku":"250823-096","price":280.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/6071\/5685\/files\/250823-096_2.jpg?v=1776359859","url":"https:\/\/antiqueamericanindianart.com\/products\/hopi-pueblo-broad-face-kachina-doll-by-ramon-albert-sr-2","provider":"Antique American Indian Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
