6 Inch Sunface Kachina Doll with Detachable Mask

The Sunface Kachina, known as Tawa, is one of the most recognized and cherished figures in Pueblo tradition. As the spirit of the sun, Tawa represents warmth, life, and the energy that sustains all living things across the high desert. His face, radiating outward like the sun itself, is immediately recognizable and carries a sense of joy and abundance that few other Kachinas match. This 6-inch figure is handcrafted by Jacida and DeWayne Loley of Shiprock, New Mexico, with vibrant hand-painted detail and a detachable mask that can be removed and appreciated on its own.

The Sunface is a natural centerpiece for any Kachina collection, and a fitting piece for SunWest Treasures. Because each doll is made entirely by hand, colors and markings will vary slightly from the photos, making yours one of a kind.
