Neil David Sr. Siohemis Katsina
$595.00
Neil David Sr. is an accomplished artist who works in many media. He makes cottonwood katsinam, creates acrylic and oil paintings, crafts bronze sculptures, etc. Regarding katsina carvings, his work is very diverse ranging from ultra-realistic, fine art carvings to traditional style efforts. This example is a traditional katsina done in a distressed style. When Neil works in this style, his katsinam often look ancient. This Siohemis katsina has a very interesting and unusual design on the tableta. Since the katsina depicted is the “Zuni Hemis,” the figure on the tableta is probably a Zuni Rainbow Man. The katsina is 11 3/4″ tall and 4 ” wide. For more information on Neil, please see my chapter on him in “The Great Tradition of Hopi Katsina Carvers, 1880 – Present.” (2019, Rio Nuevo Press). The katsina is signed and dated on the feet.
