Circa 1880 1900 Hopi Mosayurmana Kachina Bison Maiden in Apache Cradleboard

We are offering an intriguing circa 1880 - 1900 Hopi pueblo Mosayurmana Kachina/Katsina in an Apache cradleboard, which is trimmed in deerskin with yellow pigment. The flat dolls given to hopi infants have been in use for generations. This particular example has been well played with and rests in an antique apache cradle which came with it. This Katsina appears in the winter to bring snow and moisture for the upcoming planting season.

Light wear commensurate with age. Please study the photos as they are part of the description. The kachina stands 8" tall x 2 1/2" wide. The cradleboard measures 1 foot long x 4 1/4 at the widest. Will be packed up large to insure safe arrival.
