Date: circa 1890
Measurements: Height 11 3/8 in. (28.9 cm)
Provenance: John Kastner, Denver, CO; Private collection, Boston, MA
An early Hopi katsina figure carved from cottonwood root and painted with natural mineral pigments. The surface shows the quiet tonal variation and matte finish associated with traditional materials, with form and proportion reflecting an early carving tradition prior to later commercial adaptations. The figure retains a direct, sculptural presence, with attention to facial structure and painted detail consistent with late 19th century examples.
