White Buffalo Kachina Doll Hand Carved Signed by Artist

A stunning Kachina Katsina doll depicting White Buffalo in amazing detail, decorated with fur, feathers and sea shells, this is both a scared object but a fully realize work of art. The dancer is shown with a rattle in one hand and a bow in the other, wearing leather bracelets with metals disks. I've owned many Kachina's over the years, this one is a favorite. Hand carved of cotton wood, signed on the bottom by renowned Hopi artist C. L. Nish.   Circa 1970's.     17.5" h  x  7" w  x  5" d.

Condition : There is a 1/2 inch indentation on the reverse, see photo. Some minor discoloration to paint, otherwise excellent condition.
