Hopi Indian Early Morning Singer Kachina Doll 9" Katsina Carved by Milton Howard This is a sensational Early Morning Singer Kachina Doll 9" Katsina Carved By Hopi Indian Milton Howard.

The details include an energetic mix of paints throughout with a halo of feathers behind his head and a spruce ruff at the neck. The decorated breechcloth and knee bells add to the traditional elements. A coiled "Turquoise" necklace and a vibrant spruce tree is held in his left hand with a bell in his right. This fabulous Early Morning Singer stands at about 9" tall, including the base, and 4" wide. Named and signed by the master Hopi carver Milton Howard under the base.
