Message:: [QUOTE="Karen S., post: 3693560, member: 7533"]Hello everyone! I've been following the forum for several years now, and love learning new information about items I collect. I purchased this Kachina along with another the same size at an estate sale here in the Atlanta area. The person running the sale was also an antique auctioneer. He told me that this was a rare kachina. It is large, about 17 inches tall and signed on the bottom, which I can't read. Also "Long Snout Ogre" is written on the bottom. I would like to learn more about this Hopi artwork. I am thinking of selling it after enjoying it for a year on my mantel. Any suggestions about how to go about this and where to sell would be greatly appreciated. The auctioneer said that in the right area and with right group of purchasers that it was worth $800. Any information you can enlighten me with, would greatly be appreciate. I will be out of town tomorrow (Wed 24th) and will come back on the forum on Thursday if you need more information from me.[ATTACH=full]311448[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]311449[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]311451[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]311452[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]311454[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]311455[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]311456[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]311458[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]311459[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]311461[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
