Jimmie Kewanwytewa Sipiknitaqa, a Whipper Katsina
$895.00
A nice example of a Sipiknitaqa or Whipper by master carver, Jimmie Kewanwytewa, aka Jimmie K. He was the first to sign katsina carvings and this one is signed, "J.K." on the bottom of the right foot. Our research has shown that he only signed about 40% of his katsina; those that are signed have enhanced value. The katsina is 7 3/4" tall not including the long parrot feather on the top of his head. Jimmie is prominently featured in our book on "The Great Tradition of Hopi Katsina Carvers," (2019). I purchased this recently from the Heard Museum in Phoenix.
