    Description

    MAGNIFICENT NATIVE AMERICAN APACHE GAN / FIRE DANCER DOLL OR SCUPTURAL FIGURE - HUGE MEASURING 21" H X 12" W
    -
    You are considering a rare museum quality Apache Gan or Fire Dancer. The creator of this work of art spared no detail; including Apache Cactus Kicker moccasins, a matching suede leather skirt, a rather lifelike sculpted tummy, hand painted decorations from top to bottom, amazing plumage and even some bells dangling from his waist. The sculptural Apache figure is one of the finest I have ever encountered. He was purchased in the late 1970's from Pat Read, a 3rd Generation Trader with the Native Americans in Lawrence, Kansas. He stands a full 21 inches in height including his pedestal. I especially love the motion of the body carved in mid dance; he balances on one foot and his arms are in motion holding the two decorative staffs. If you are a collector of either Kachina dolls or Native American artifacts this is a rare opportunity to acquire a magnificent antique work of art by a master craftsman. I guarantee you will adore fine example placed in your collection. He definitely is a center piece and will attract attention.
    Please note, I will ship this dancer to the winner double boxed and protected by way of Priority Mail.
    I will be listing a small group of other kachina dolls in the coming weeks as well as many other Native American artifacts. Be sure to check out my other listings.
