MOUNTAIN LION TOHO KACHINA DOLL BY KEVIN SEKAKUKU (HOPI)
Kevin Sekakuku is an award winning carver who was born in 1977 in Tuba City, AZ. He is a member of the Sun Clan and was raised in the village of Kykotsmovi on the Hopi Reservation. He was taught by three of his uncles and began carving at the age of seven. He now lives in Phoenix, AZ.
"The Mountain Lion Kachina appears at Pachavu times as does the Wildcat Kachina. When he carries yucca whips in his hand, he would be one of the Angry or Watching Kachians. He may appear in the Mixed Kachina Dance with either Deer or Antelope Kachinas whom he leads for he is always in the front and is never caught. In this role he is a side dancer for the Deer or Antelope and carries a talavaiyi, a cane with eagle feathers and red horsehair fringe, in his hands."

Measurements: 10" tall x 3 1/2" wide x 4" deep
