Vintage hand carved wooden Hopi Kachina doll Ho-ote or Ho'ote representing the Spring Flowers figure. This figure is handpainted and dressed in traditional costume attributed to this Kachina, however unfortunately one part of the traditional attire is missing. There should have originally been a silver belt around the mid torso, the line on which the belt was strung is still around the waist area of this kachina doll but someone has removed the actual pieces of the silver belt from this Kachina before I purchased it. The doll is 12 inches tall, carved of wood and standing on a wooden base, holding a staff in one hand and a rattle in the other hand. The face including the eyes tongue and facial design is very distinctive. The hair is made from some type of fur and there are feathers glued to the back of the head. I'm not sure if there were originally more feathers or not on this Kachina.The body of the kachina has a striking white colored paint wash over the black paint base. A card included with the doll identifies this as follows: "Hopi Kac [kachina] name HO-OTE, English Name Spring Flowers. Colton Kac.Book Item #104 [well known Kachina reference book, reference has been verified], Wright Kac. Book Item #169 [also a Kachina reference book]. A popular kachina because of his well-liked songs. His dance forecasts the flowers of spring." If you need any more info about this statue or the condition, just ask and I will answer quickly. My photos show the actual item you will receive. As noted above, the traditional costume for this kachina is missing the silver belt which is expected to be around the waist area, it was missing when I originally bought this doll.
