Hopi Pueblo Kachina dolls (also properly called katsina or tihu figures) are traditional carvings made by Hopi artists from the root of the cottonwood tree. These figures represent katsinam—spiritual beings that act as intermediaries between the Hopi people and the natural world, bringing rain, fertility, harmony, and lessons about life. Traditionally, they serve as educational tools given to children (especially girls) during ceremonies to teach them about the various katsinam and Hopi religious traditions.
Due to the fragile nature of kachina dolls, we do not guarantee they will not break during shipping. We do our best to pack them well, but due to their fragile nature and even with the best packing, small pieces can break. If you are purchasing kachina dolls, please keep this in mind.
