Description: Proudly presented today is this beautiful Hopi Kachina doll, depicting Yowe, the Priest Killer Kachina. An Ogre Kachina, he may be regarded as a deity of certain Hopi Warrior Clans, having a supremely powerful inner spiritual responsibility to issue punishment, including the taking of life. He is called the Priest Killer because he killed and beheaded the Catholic Priest running the mission at Awatovi, when that Hopi town was destroyed, in 1700. This magnificent example, standing 6 and a half inches tall is carved by the young and very talented Emery Kyasyousie, gifted carver who, although carving since 1990 and enjoying a solid reputation as an artist, has appeared in shows no farther than Flagstaff, at the Museum of Northern Arizona’s Hopi Show. Despite his desire to stay out of the spotlight, his work has become wildly popular and galleries have sought out his work (affecting the price greatly). As can be seen from the photos, the carving is skilled and intricate, and the colors subtle and subdued. Buy with complete confidence, for as you all know, if the buyer is unsatisfied for ANY reason, I will immediately return the full purchase price, including return shipping. This doll would look great in any Kachina doll collection; Shouldn’t it be in yours? Many Thanks for your kind consideration, and as always, Best Regards, Rich
