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 Long Hair Kachina (Angak'china) brings a profound prayer for gentle, life-giving summer rains and seasonal moisture to help the fields thrive. His long, flowing hair and beard represent the falling sheets of rain, while the feathers he wears symbolize the gathering storm clouds that deliver growth to the crops.
This Kachina doll is 9 inches tall with feather.
