The Hopi Pueblo Miniature Hoop Dancer Kachina Doll by BB is a collectible piece of Native American art, specifically a small-scale (miniature) katsina (or kachina) doll hand-carved from cottonwood root, painted in vibrant traditional colors, and signed by an artist whose mark or initials are "BB."
The Hoop Dancer (sometimes called a specific katsina or a figure in mixed dances) is a beloved and dynamic representation. This dancer amuses audiences during ceremonies by skillfully manipulating multiple hoops (often 5 or more) that symbolize the circle of life, seasons, the sun/moon, flowers, butterflies, and harmony in nature.
