Shawn Deel – Exceptional Kooninkatsinmana or Female Havasupai Katsina
$1,350.00
An exceptionally beautiful female Havasupai katsina (Kooninkatsinmana) by award-winning carver Shawn Deel. There are a number of innovations on this carving including handmade and stamped silver conchos with coral stones at their center. For the first time he even made a tiny ring which sits on the left hand ring finger. Note the undulating leather strips coming down on each side from the face. The garment is handmade contoured leather. The necklace is made of melon shell, Royston turquoise and mother of pearl. The feathers are partridge and silver pheasant. Signed on the base S Deel. The base is made of fused slabs of paako (cottonwood root) and padauk (an exotic red wood). The carving is 13″ tall including the base. Truly masterful work.
