Kachina is approximately 10" tall including a 1-1/2" base, and 5" wide at widest points.

Great proportion, and amazing detail.

The Buffalo Dancer or Kocha Mosairu is not a Kachina, but rather a social dancer. It is usually seen in ceremonies in January on First Mesa. It is a doll that most carvers do not mind doing as part of their repertoire. His popularity began from the works of Alvin James Makya who made one of the first dolls. It is now a favorite among collectors. All animals are an important part of the Hopi culture, they are believed to provide guidance, health, and protection.

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 among 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.

This Kachina Doll is made of cottonwood root and is signed on the side of the base "Keith Torres".

    Beautiful Stones

    The bracelet has the Turquoise color stones I wanted but the silver bracelet is thin sheet silver and very bendable. I am worried it will not stand up to everyday wear and will only be good for dress. The ring stone matches perfectly and the shank on the ring is heavier than the bracelet. The bracelet was $499.99 and that is not pocket change! I expect more from this company. I don't want o return because I have the other matching pieces, which I am very pleased with. Sorry about the bad review on the bracelet, but raise the price, not lower the quality.

    My bracelet has beautiful stones and just the color I wanted in Green Turquoise. The silver in the bracelet is very thin and will bend easily, I do not think it is worth the $399.00 I paid for it. but I will keep it because of the stones and be very careful, wear it only for dress. I am sorry I expected the silver to be a little heavier than it is, for the price. the ring I order has heavier silver on the shank. The stones on the ring and bracelet match beautifully. Let's not cut back on quality, raise the price instead. I would rather pay a little more and have it last a lifetime.
