Hopi Kachina Doll - Kwikwilyaka, the Mocking Kachina by Meldon Hayah - Unusual!

Description

Presented today is this imaginatively interpreted Mocking Kachina. This unique clown, with telescope eyes, perfectly mimics the actions of whoever interests him. His mocking gestures are delightful, but when he turns his attention on the Kachina dancers themselves, the dancers quickly lose patience. In order to rid themselves of his perfect mimicry, they finally pantomime setting their hair on fire, which the Mocking Kachina does, literally, running around the courtyard screaming, with his hair actually on fire, to the delight of the crowds.This highly stylized example is by Meldon Hayah, a carver from Polacca who was active from the 1960's to the 1990's. He is from an old collection and is very reasonably priced. Buy with confidence, for as you all know, if the buyer is unsatisfied for ANY reason i will immediately return the full purchase price, including return shipping. Many Thanks for your kind consideration, and as always, Best Regards, Rich
