10 Inch Deer Kachina Doll

The Deer Kachina is one of the most graceful and beloved animal figures in Pueblo tradition, representing the deer's qualities of gentleness, swiftness, and the deep respect that Pueblo people hold for the animals that have sustained their communities for centuries. The Deer Dance is one of the most beautiful ceremonies in the Pueblo world, and the Deer Kachina carries that same quiet elegance. This 10-inch figure is handcrafted by Jacida and DeWayne Loley, artists from Shiprock, New Mexico, with hand-painted antlers and ceremonial body markings that bring the figure to life.

At 10 inches, the antler detail and earth-toned regalia have real presence and make this a natural complement to other animal kachinas in a collection. It is a piece that feels both grounded and alive. Because each one is made by hand, colors and details will vary slightly, making yours one of a kind.
