This is Native American Kachina art at its finest. This impressive Shalako Kachina Doll was made by Eloise Jones and family, master Navajo Indian Kachina carvers. This Kachina Doll was made the traditional old fashioned way. It was masterfully hand carved out of genuine cottonwood root. The Navajo Indian artist used the natural shape of the root to help form the body on this one. This Kachina Doll was painted by hand with bright and vibrant colors to help bring life to the traditional designs. Plus, this Kachina Doll has been hand etched with the perfect amount of detail giving it a sense of rich texture. This Shalako Kachina Doll is 18-3/4" tall (including the wooden base), and 2-7/8" wide. Signed by the Native American artist. Labeled Long Hair.

The Hopi Shalako towers seven or eight feet in the air, a long, shoulderless figure that bows and dips as he moves in a most graceful manner. The Hopi Shalako ceremony is held infrequently. The basic intent is probably that of bringing the cloud supernaturals to the Hopi mesa and causing them to remain in the general vicinity of the villages and fields of the tribal lands.
