10 Inch Black Wolf Kachina Doll

The Black Wolf Kachina is a bold and striking figure, rendered here in a 10-inch form that lets every detail of the hand-painted black detailing and traditional ceremonial regalia come through clearly. Handcrafted by Jacida and DeWayne Loley, artists from Shiprock, New Mexico, this piece has a strong, grounded presence that makes it a natural focal point on any shelf or display.

In Pueblo tradition, the Wolf is a guardian and a hunter, a spirit associated with strength, direction, and the protection of the community. The Black Wolf carries an added intensity, its dark coloring giving it a commanding, almost mysterious quality that sets it apart from other figures in the kachina world. Because each one is made by hand, colors and details will vary slightly, making yours one of a kind.
