Description: Proudly presented today is this great Hopi Kachina doll, depicting the Toson Koyemsi, the Fancy Mudhead. This is one of several versions of the Fancy Mudhead, who most commonly appear on the morning of the final day of the Powamu, and distribute gifts. This lovely example is the trademark style of the renowned Herbert Talahaftewa. Herb was born March 29, 1954 at Winslow, Arizona. He is a member of the Corn Clan. He has been active carving since 1965. He has won many awards at both the Heard and Museum of Northern Arizona. He was named after his grandfather, Herbert Talahaftewa, who was a famous traditional doctor, herbalist, weaver and silversmith. Once, at the Heard, he said that Kachina carving was a relaxing experience, that "kept him sane". This statuesque, one-piece carving stands 9 inches tall, and would be an incredible addition to your collection.
