Description: Presented tonight is this very impressive Hopi Kachina doll depicting He'e'e Wuhti, the Warrior Maiden Kachina. In antiquity, He'e'e was doing her hair up in Hopi maiden swirls, when she spotted Paiute warriors about to attack her village. She grabbed a bow and arrows, and managed to hold them off until warriors could arrive and drive off the attack. Her courage immortalized her as a Kachina, and she is always shown with disheveled hair. She's a hard Kachina to carve, and many artists won't take up the challenge. But she's very exquisitely expressed here by Philbert Polyestewa, of Moencopi, a respected and very talented carver, who is at the very apex of his creative skills. This lovely doll stands a 8 inches tall, and is carved from a single piece of Cottonwood root. The fearless expression and aggressive pose make this doll a masterpiece, in my opinion. It would be a great addition to any Kachina doll collection, created by a recognized carver and an always popular subject. Buy with confidence, because as you all know, if the buyer is unsatisfied for ANY reason, i will immediately return the full purchase price. Many Thanks for your kind consideration, and sincere Congratulations i advance to the VERY lucky buyer. Best Regards Always, Rich
