Carving of a Hopi Clown, Late 19th - Early 20th Century
This Clown carving is 15” tall and is on it’s original Fred Harvey base, with the, “Made In The Hopi Villages” tag. It was in the collection of Sidney Burr Brinckerhoff who was the Executive Director of the Arizona Historical Society. There were a number of these early “Action” Kachinas carved at the end of the 19th century. This carving wonderfully mimics the exaggerated postures and antics of the Hopi clowns.
Snake Dancer Carving, 1920s
Wonderfully detailed this carving is 19” tall. One carver or family
of carvers produced these snake dancers from the late 19th century to the 1930s. They must have been primarily carved for outsiders visiting the Hopi villages during the snake dances.
