7\" Hopi Eototo White Kachina - Signed - Arizona

A Kachina (Katsinas) is a supernatural being relied upon to provide rain, fertility, health, and well being. While kachinas play a role in many of the Pueblo societies, the Hopi are most noted and prolific today in kachina doll carving. Kachina dolls are carved from cottonwood root and have long been used to instruct Hopi children in the ways of the traditional religious cycles, and to help them learn to identify the hundreds of different beings. The carvings convey the movement of the dancer, and the specific particulars of the mask, costume, and accessories. In addition to kachinas, Hopi artists also carve figures from Hopi mythology and folklore as well as other Pueblos dancers.

Eototo is the chief of all kachinas and knows all of the ceremonies. He is the spiritual counterpart of the village chief and as such is called \"father\" of all the kachinas. He controls the seasons and is sometimes called the husband of Hahai-i Wuhti.

Unfortunately, I can\'t make up the name of the artist on the bottom of the kachina.

In excellent pre-owned condition - I believe he is missing something in his back because of the glue remain.
