Eagle Katsina by Henry Naha (Hopi) SOLD

The Eagle, or Kwahu, Katsina, with his beautiful outstretched wings, is one of the most impressive katsinas.  As he dances, he mimics the motions of an eagle as it soars to the heavens, as a prayer for an increase of eagles.

Henry Naha is of the Spider and Lizard clans.  He was taught by one of the masters, Cecil Calnimptewa, who is his Hopi grandfather.  He has been an active carver for over 25 years.  His figures always have an excellent stance and pose which suggest great strength and pride.

Height 6", wing spread 6"
