Featured today is this beautiful Hopi Kachina doll, depicting Kwikwilyaka, the Mocking Kachina. At Hopi ceremonial dances, this particular Kachina will expertly mimic the actions of any spectator or performer who catches the attention of his telescopic eyes. Finally he will become such a nuisance to the dancers that one of them will mimic setting their hair on fire, and the Mocking Kachina will follow suit, except that he actually will set his hair on fire, running frantically out of the dance plaza amidst the cheers of the audience.This great example was carved by PhilanderShelton, grandson of the legendary Henry Shelton. Exquisitely detailed, the main figure was carved from a single piece of cottonwood root Philander's artistry and attention to detail is unsurpassed, and i am firmly convinced that he is well on the way to becoming the finest Kachina carver who ever lived. This is a fantastic opportunity to own an exquisite doll at a fraction of what a doll of this quality would cost in a Santa Fe or Sedona gallery. , because as you all know, if the buyer is unsatisfied for ANY reason i will immediately return the full purchase price, shipping included. Please compare this doll with any other you see on eBay, for quality and price. Invest in this young carver's wonderful future, before he's 'discovered'. Good luck to all, and sincere
