Darance Makwesa Chimerica – Yongo or Prickly Pear Cactus
$465.00
This is one of my favorite creations by Darance Makwesa Chimerica: a Yongo or Prickly Pear Cactus katsina. As with all his work, precisely carved and painted. I counted on just one of the three cactus protrusions on the head and came up with 30 cactus spines. Doing that times 3 is a lot of work!
The katsina is 12 1/4″ tall to the top of the cactus branch and 5 3/4″ wide including the feathers. It is signed on the bottom of the kilt with his usual cloud symbol with a dot in the center. Purchased directly from Makwesa.
