6 Inch Chief Kachina Doll with Detachable Mask

The Chief Kachina holds a position of authority and dignity in Pueblo ceremonial tradition, representing leadership and the responsibility that comes with it. This 6-inch figure is handcrafted by Jacida and DeWayne Loley of Shiprock, New Mexico, with deliberate hand-painted detail and a detachable mask that can be removed and appreciated on its own. The feather and textile accents are applied by hand, giving the piece a stately, composed presence.

This is the kind of piece that anchors a collection. The Chief Kachina tends to draw the eye and hold it, and the detachable mask adds an extra layer of interest for collectors. Because each doll is made entirely by hand, colors and markings will vary slightly from the photos, making yours one of a kind.
