A Hopi "White Buffalo" katsina by Chester Poleyestewa. This piece is carved out of cottonwood root. It is adorned with fur, feathers and painted over with natural paint pigments. This piece measures 14 inches in height and 6 1/2 inches at the widest.
We have been visiting and shopping at Toh-Atin for over twenty years. Always loved visiting with Jackson and his mother. We would spend hours gathering information on rugs, jewelry, and baskets- what a tremendous inventory. Everyone was so knowledgeable. We have so many memorable pieces. Jackson asked my husband, " How often do you get compliments on your tie?" We bought a very nice bolo! :)
We had just seen and visited with Jackson two weeks earlier and were so saddened and shocked to hear of his passing. What a loss to friends, family, and community. Our deepest condolences to his family and to the staff.
