Vintage Mongwa Owl Kachina from Second Mesa w rabbit skin headress ca. 1963

The doll is ten inches tall. This is not a carving for the tourist trade but is of authentic didactic usage. He carries a bow, but the yucca whip in the right hand is missing. The kilt or sash appears to be buckskin.

I have no doubt that the rabbit skin once had the fur, but that is long gone. This item is in the category "Collectibles\Cultures & Ethnicities\Native American: US\1935-Now\Dolls & Kachinas". The seller is "cuiraba" and is located in this country: US.
