[QUOTE="Taupou, post: 126930, member: 45"]Trip98, what is the name of the artist, if I may ask? First photo, figure to left, with the big tableta, depicts [I]Sio Hemis[/I] (Zuni Hemis.) First photo, figure on far right, has the round mask with blue, yellow, and white spots, and is barefoot, both characteristic of [I]Kokosori, [/I]but he should also have red spots, and the spots should be over his entire body, not just his head. Plus he shouldn't have the black and white circles around the eyes. Second photo, figure on left is [I]Patung[/I] (Squash Kachina), but the red and white shawl indicates it depicts a woman, so would be [I]Patung Mana[/I]. Second photo, middle figure has the multi-colored moccasins, robe, and blue horns of a Zuni [I]Shalako [/I]kachina, but the tube eyes are not exactly correct. Second photo, figure to far right, is [I]Mongwu[/I] (Great Horned Owl.) First and second photos, second figures from right, both are [I]Na-ngasohu [/I](Chasing Star or Planet Kachina.) The others don't have the right combination of body paint, eye and mouth forms, and colors used, to be associated with a particular kachina. I should mention that besides Colton's book, [U]Hopi Indian Kachina Dolls[/U] by Oscar T. Branson is helpful for identifying not only the kachinas, but the items they wear and carry, as well. (I'm glad this post was bumped up, I missed it first time around.)[/QUOTE]
