    Description

    Presented today is this gorgeous Hopi Kachina doll, depicting the rarely carved Hopi Snake Dancer.   Standing 8 and a half inches tall, he is exquisitely carved by Earl Arthur, a highly respected  carver of immense talent.  This is part of a series of carvings Earl has undertaken, to show very rarely depicted Kachinas.  Few carvers will make Snake Dancers.  This is a golden opportunity to acquire a carving that's just a bit out of the ordinary, and by a respected and very talented carver. Earl's work is always reverent and understated, never glitzy or gimmicky, and his honesty and fidelity to detail is never compromised. The colors are rich, but subdued and never garish. Earl carves for mainstream collectors, and carves at a size which makes his beautiful Kachina dolls within reach of everyone. His honesty, and fidelity to detail, and the beautiful sincerity of his work make him, in my opinion, among the best carvers alive today. i am proud to represent his work, just as you can be rightfully proud to own it. Buy with confidence, because as you all know, if the buyer is unsatisfied for ANY reason, i will immediately return the full purchase price, including shipping. Sincere Thanks for your kind consideration, and as always, Best Regards, Rich
