Butterfly Kachina Plaque

Hand-burned and painted wood wall plaque by Hopi artist Ted Pavatea, featuring a Butterfly Maiden figure in the center with surrounding geometric rain, cloud, and directional motifs. Butterfly imagery in Hopi art is associated with beauty, transformation, fertility, and the renewal of life, while the surrounding designs connect the piece to rain, growth, and agricultural abundance. The layered circular format gives the plaque a strong ceremonial and decorative presence, with a hanging cord for wall display.
