1950s -19 Inch Hemiskatsina

$2,500.00

  • Description

In the 1950s there was a brief fad of what Barton Wright called “giantism” in katsina making. This 19 1/2″ tall Hemiskatsina is one such example. It is 7 1/2″ wide. The katsina is beautifully made with full accurate proportions. It has a beautiful tableta front and back. In photo 2 I’ve shown this example with a 9″ Hemis for scale. If you want a dramatic example that can serve as a centerpiece in a collection, this may be for you. There are stable cracks at both shoulders that are visible but pose no risk. From a collection in California.
