Mountain Sheep Kachina
Tribe: Hopi
Item #HK01256
Hand-carved and painted Mountain Sheep (Pong) Kachina, depicting the figure in a dynamic dancing posture with rattle and staff, carved primarily from a single piece of wood, except for the staff and a few feathers. The figure features prominent curved horns, detailed evergreen adornments, and carefully rendered body paint. Beadwork, textile elements, and leather details enhance the sense of movement and ceremonial presence, while the stance conveys the energetic character associated with this Kachina. The carving demonstrates fine craftsmanship in both sculptural form and painted surface, with attention to proportion, texture, and balance.
