Vintage Hopi 12\" BLACK OGRE Kachina Doll Katsina Carved by Everett Curley c70s

For your consideration is this sensational vintage hand carved Black Ogre Kachina doll by Hopi artisan Everett Curley, circa 1970s.

This gorgeous kachina doll was hand carved out of top grade cottonwood and hand painted with dyes made from natural materials off the reservation. The colors are crisp and the details are amazing!

This fabulous Hopi Black Ogre Kachina doll stands approx 12\" tall. Hallmarked by the Hopi master carver. Comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.

* The Black Ogre (Nata-aska), and the White Ogre (Wiharu), are disciplinarians who appear around the time of the Powamuya Ceremony. Both carry a saw (sometimes a knife) as well as a bow and arrows for hunting. Their outstanding feature is their long, flapping jaws, which they can clack quite loudly. The purpose of these Katsinas is to reinforce the Hopi way of life to the children of the Pueblo. These Ogres accompany Soyoko on her trip to collect food from the children. As a means of discipline, children are told the Ogres can swallow them whole, unless they are good little children. The fierce and threatening behavior of these Katsinas strikes fear into the children, but they are eventually saved from imminent danger by the people of their Pueblo. Anglos would call these Katsina the boogymen. *
