Kachina doll representing Chöqapölö
The Mud Thrower
Hopi Indians, Arizona
Circa 1940
Cottonwood, pigments, wool and plant fibers
H. 23; L 9 cm
(accidents and restorations)

Monoxyle wooden doll featuring a conical helmet mask with polychrome pigmentation, two tufts of natural fibers at the temples and a top tuft, embellished with colored wool threads. The mask features a green burr. He was holding mud in one hand and a stick with a ball of clay in the other.

Chöqapölö sprinkled mud over the participants.

Kachina dolls were given to children at the end of ceremonial dances. They would take them home and hang them on the wall, enabling them to learn about the pantheon of divinities.

Provenance: Former private collection in Paris, France.
