Brandon

Brandon Kayquoptewa, a member of the Rabbit Clan from Hotevilla Village on Third Mesa, is a versatile carver who can create highly detailed work as well as classic traditional or old-style katsina tihut (katsina dolls). We have been handling his work for over a decade. These are some of the ones we are fortunate to have on hand.

The finished Hemis measures just under 15". $2,200. The Hemis katsina appears during the Niman Ceremony held in July as something of an early harvest observance as the Katsinas bring in the first harvest from the field and distribute presents to the very young children. (Tucson)
