Jimmie K Miniature Aykatsina or Rattle – Barton Wright Collection – SOLD
$0.00
This is a well-made miniature Aykatsina or rattle by master carver, Jimmie Kewanwytewa, aka Jimmie K. He is prominently featured in my book on "Hopi Katsina Carvers, 1880-Present." The carving is 3 1/8" tall and 1 1/2" wide. It is not signed but has the distinctive paints, and hand and feet design that make it clear it was made by Jimmie. Our research has shown that Jimmie signed only about 40% of his katsinam. Also confirming that it is by Jimmie is that it came from the Barton and Margaret Wright collection. Barton, the noted scholar, worked with Jimmie for many years at the MNA and acquired many of his katsinam over time.
