Spruce Owl Kachina

Hand-carved from cottonwood root and hand painted by Hopi artist Tawma Lalo, this Spruce Owl (Salap) Kachina represents one of the owl spirits recognized in Hopi tradition. Salap is associated with the natural world and reflects the importance of owls within Hopi cultural teachings.

Old-style Kachinas are traditionally made for hanging, and this carving includes a loop on the back for wall display.
