Germination Kachina

Germination Kachina

Germination Kachina - "Muy-inga" - this is the brother of the Two Horn Society's deity, "Alosaka." He is gentle, kind, and aloof and he is residing in the underworld rather than in the San Francisco Mountains near Flagstaff, Arizona. He brings the raw seeds for planting the main staple foods of the Hopi during the Bean Dance Ceremony.

$280.00

I was born in Tuba City, Arizona and I am from the Corn clan of lower Moencopi. I've been carving kachina dolls since I was 10 years old. I learned from my dad when he used to make kachina dolls and also learned silversmith work from him as time went on.

I am a US Marine Veteran having served our country. I have travelled the world leaving some kachina dolls here and there while overseas. I am a Hopi traditional and have a lot of respect for all mankind. I pray every morning to the great Creator. My kids also go along with me to pray for all.
