Darance Chimerica – Large Apache or Yotse’e – SOLD
Extra large Yotse’e or Apache katsina by Darance Makwesa Chimerica. Darance is an award-winning carver from Hotvela. His Apache katsinam are among my favorites. This katsina is quite large. It is 13 1/2″ tall and 3 1/4″ wide. It’s made from a large piece of cottonwood root. Darance is featured in our book, “The Great Tradition of Hopi Katsina Carvers, 1880 to Present” (Rio Nuevo, 2019). The katsina is signed with his usual “D.” I acquired this directly from Darance.
