Hopi kachina dolls are traditional wooden carvings made by the Hopi people of northeastern Arizona to represent Katsinam, immortal spirit beings.
Virgil Long is a contemporary Hopi Katsina carver known for his clean, precise sculptural style and careful attention to detail. He follows traditional methods, carving figures from cottonwood root (paako) and finishing them with hand-painted details. We purchase our Kachina dolls directly from Virgil, removing the need for a trading company and maximizing the artists’ compensation.
The Hopi Corn Maiden Kachina (Katsinam Mana) represents the essential spirit of sustenance, maternal care, and the life-giving corn crop that forms the foundation of Hopi life. She symbolizes the sacred maiden who brings the physical grain to the people, serving as a profound prayer for food security and the continuation of the generations.
This Kachina Doll is 6.5 inches tall.
