Large Vintage Pueblo Indian Carved Katsina Figure or Kachina Doll Prob. 1940-70s

Vintage Pueblo Indian Large Folk Art Carved Cottonwood Katsina Figure or Kachina Doll. The figure has robust proportions and cuts quite the figure with his elaborate detachable tableta (dance headdress), highly embellished kilt, jewelry, and painted details on various parts of his outfit.

The paint is exuberant and carefully applied. The unpainted soles of his feet show good age and allow identification of the wood as cottonwood root. While the Pueblo of origin is unclear, Tesuque Pueblo seems to be a possibility.

This engaging Pueblo carving would be a good addition to a collection of Southwest Indian Folk Art. No breaks, missing parts, or repairs. Painted surface is also excellent with minimal wear. Dimensions: 13-3/4" tall, 5-1/2" wide at elbows. Tableta (detachable): 3-7/8" x 3-1/4". Please check out my other offerings at.
