VERY Proudly presented today
is this beautiful Hopi Kachina doll, depicting Tawa, the Sun Kachina. This
exquisite, vintage Kachina doll was carved around 1976 by the legendary Henry
Shelton, truly one of the Founding Fathers of modern Kachina doll carving. Henry
passed away a few years ago, and this doll represents a rare and irreplaceable
example of his work. Henry's work dates from the late 1940’s, where he developed
his skills and talents at the Museum of Northern Arizona. Henry was
instrumental in creating and popularizing the Late Action Style. The way that
Kachina dolls look today is in part because of the brilliance and talent of
this wonderful man. This beautiful example of his work, in PERFECT condition
despite being 45 years old, stands 14 inches tall to the tip of his feathers and
displays his artistry in it’s creative maturity. The figure is carved with a
self-confidence and dignity which can only be described as classic. This
Kachina doll could reside proudly in the best Kachina doll collections in the
world, and give it’s very proud owner a lifetime of enjoyment. There are a
handful of Hopi names that every collector dreams of adding to their
collection, and Henry’s name will always be among them. Look at this beautiful
Kachina doll; shouldn't she be in YOUR collection? Many Thanks for your kind
consideration, and sincere congratulations in advance to the very lucky buyer.
Best Regards, Rich
