Darance Makwesa Chimerica Hiilili
$395.00
This is Darance Makwesa Chimerica’s beautiful rendition of one of the many forms of Hiilili katsina. Hiilili katsinam function as guards at diverse ceremonies. This carving is 11 1/2″ tall including the crown of feathers on the top of the head. The crosses on the face represent stars, I believe. The disc on the top of the head to the left is a Tawa or Sun design. The katsina is signed on the bottom of the kilt. Darance is featured in our book, “The Great Tradition of Hopi Katsina Carvers, 1880 – Present.” Rio Nuevo, 2019.
