3 Inch Badger Kachina Doll

This 3-inch Badger Kachina is handcrafted by Jacida and DeWayne Loley, artists from Shiprock, New Mexico. The Badger Kachina is a respected figure in Pueblo tradition, associated with healing, medicine, and the knowledge of roots and plants that grow beneath the earth. Each doll is shaped and painted by hand, with the distinctive markings of the badger rendered in careful detail and finished with feather and textile accents that give the piece a grounded, earthy presence.

In Pueblo culture, the Badger is considered a powerful medicine animal, connected to the south direction and the healing arts. The Badger Kachina is often called upon for strength and wellness, making this a meaningful piece for collectors and those drawn to the healing traditions of the Southwest. Because each one is made by hand, colors and details will vary slightly, making yours one of a kind.
