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 katsin 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.
