10 Inch Sunface Kachina Doll

The Sunface Kachina, known as Tawa in Hopi tradition, is one of the most iconic and widely recognized figures in all of kachina art. He represents the sun, the source of all warmth, growth, and life, and his circular face radiating outward in bold colors is immediately striking and deeply meaningful. This 10-inch figure is handcrafted by Jacida and DeWayne Loley, artists from Shiprock, New Mexico, and the hand-painted sunburst face is rendered with the kind of precision and vibrancy that makes this piece a true showstopper.

The Sunface Kachina is a perennial favorite among collectors, both for its visual impact and its universal symbolism. At 10 inches, the radiating face design and ceremonial body detail have real presence on any shelf or display. Because each one is made by hand, colors and details will vary slightly, making yours one of a kind.
