Navajo Yei Kachina dolls are contemporary artistic blendings of Hopi carving styles and sacred Navajo spiritual concepts. Strictly speaking, the Navajo (Diné) people do not have a native "Kachina" culture; Kachinas (Katsinam) are ancestral spirit beings central to Puebloan tribes like the Hopi and Zuni. However, Navajo artisans craft these unique fusion figures for the art and tourist market by depicting their own Holy People, known as Yei, in a doll format.

  • All other pieces: $20

Buying from more than one category? You only pay the highest rate in your cart, so eight fetishes and a pair of earrings ship together for just $15.

Large or heavy pieces, such as big pottery, baskets, rugs and framed art, are custom-packed and shipped at actual cost. As a guide, that's anything needing a box larger than 12" × 12" × 12" or weighing over 5 lbs. At checkout, choose Oversized – Shipping Invoiced Separately and we'll email your shipping invoice, usually within 24 hours. Contact us for an estimate before you buy.
