Stunning Kachina.
There are many similarities between the Antelope (Chop) Kachina and the Deer Kachina, they can be differentiated by the deer's antlers or the antelope's horns. The Antelope Kachina's dance is a prayer for more rain and for more Antelope. When he appears, he is often accompanied by the Mountain Sheep Kachina, and the Wolf Kachina. The motions that the Antelope Kachina does when he dances are: bending forward at the waist and resting the front part of the body upon the stick that he usually carries. The sticks represent the front legs of an actual antelope.
Award winning artist Keith Torres and his work, can be seen in the book, "Katchina Dolls and Their Carvers" by Theda Bassman. He is one of the most creative Hopi Carvers around. With his own style of carving, Keith has shown an incredible art talent, his carving and detailing combination have produced amongst the best Kachina dolls to date. He puts a lot of time and effort into his Kachina Dolls, trying to make them as perfect as he sees them in his own mind. Starting in 1985, Keith was taught how to carve by Edward Poleahla. One of the things he enjoys most in the creation of a Kachina doll is the painting. Keith was born on December 14th, 1963 in Window Rock, Arizona. He is a part of the Coyote and Fire Clans of the Hopi Tribe.
