KACHINA Ogre or GARD KACHINA - Lot 5
KACHINA Ogre or GARD KACHINA Cottonwood, pigments Colton 24 - 25 - 26 Kachina with a red facial band, pronounced beard and aggressive teeth. Ogres were used to frighten children and keep them in line with rituals and social behavior. One of the most intriguing is Tchakwena, inspired by Esteban, the Spaniards' first guide in Hopi territory. A Moor by color, he impressed the locals as much by his appearance as by his legendary viciousness. He was murdered, it is said, and transformed into a fearsome ogre. Hopi, circa 1910-1930 Height: 23 cm
