    Description

    This beautiful HOPI Kachina is called Cow Wakas
    1970’s Cow Wakas Male Cow Kachina is carved in one piece of cottonwood root by a Hopi carver
    . He
    is in excellent condition. He has great detail and a great face. I only see one flaw, which is a little grazing on the end of one of his horns. A little touch up paint is all you need.
    The
    Cow Wakas Katsina
    is the Cow Kachina. He first appeared in the Hopi pantheon of Katsinas around 1900 and has appeared regularly since then.
    He represents an animal spirit messenger to the Rain gods. The songs and dance movements are prayers for rain, and are symbolic of animals' self-sacrifice in supplying food to sustain life
    I am unable to read the signature on the label of the Carver. It was in the Bernie Talus
    collection that I purchased
