Catalogue Description:
Stewart Culin provided the name Kjaklo for this particular kachina doll, which may not be accurate. Feathers are tied to the top of his head. His white face has painted dashes extending out from the bottom of each small eye in three different directions. On one side of his head is a small horn-shaped ear. The kachina is wearing a two-piece textile dress and sash, upon which are painted geometric designs. Around neck is a feather ruff and a disproportionately large shell amulet. Wrists are tied with colored yarn. In proper right hand is a small wooden bird. On kachina's feet are high, long-fringed leather boots, tied at the top with yarn. The kachina doll is in stable and good condition, however, garment decorations reveal some paint losses. Leather is stiff and appears brittle.
