The Butterfly Kachina, known as Poli Mana in Hopi tradition, is a graceful and colorful figure associated with the beauty of nature, the pollination of crops, and the joy of the summer season. She appears during the Butterfly Dance, one of the most visually stunning ceremonies in Pueblo culture, and her regalia reflects that celebration with bright, layered colors and delicate detail. This 10-inch figure is handcrafted by Jacida and DeWayne Loley, artists from Shiprock, New Mexico.
At 10 inches, the wing-like headdress and flowing ceremonial dress are rendered with the kind of care and color that makes this piece genuinely beautiful to display. It is a favorite among collectors who appreciate the more feminine and nature-inspired figures in the kachina world. Because each one is made by hand, colors and details will vary slightly, making yours one of a kind.
