Cimmaron Grover – Paakwa or Frog Katsina – SOLD
$595.00
In my opinion, Cimmaron Grover makes the best Paakwas or Frogs. The details and symbols he adds are like no one else’s. Note the cloud design beneath the mouth, and the myriad of circles with dots within. This katsina is wearing a hand-painted canvas kilt and he has a white cotton sash with streamers as well. The carving is 10 ” tall. Note how the arms are outstretched. As quoted in my book, “The Great Tradition of Hopi Katsina Carvers” Cimmaron told me, “my carvings are made with arms out to welcome everybody.” He added, “they are made like when you haven’t seen your friend for years and want to meet him with open arms.”
