6 Inch Mudhead Kachina Doll with Detachable Mask

The Mudhead Kachina, known as Koyemsi, is one of the most recognized and beloved figures in Pueblo ceremony. With his rounded clay-colored mask and playful presence, the Mudhead appears at nearly every Hopi and Pueblo ceremony as a clown and entertainer, bringing lightness and laughter alongside the more solemn spirits. This 6-inch figure is handcrafted by Jacida and DeWayne Loley of Shiprock, New Mexico, with hand-painted detail and a detachable mask that can be removed on its own.

The Mudhead is a favorite among collectors for his instantly recognizable form and the warmth he brings to any display. Because each doll is made entirely by hand, colors and markings will vary slightly from the photos, making yours one of a kind.
