- Lot Description
Raymond Chee, Sr. (Native American, Hopi, 1961 - present) "Longhair Kachina," late 20th century CE. A wooden kachina carving of the Longhair Kachina dancer, with a rattle and green plants and kachina ornaments in his hands hand. The Longhair kachina summoned rain for villages - and as accompanied by Corn Maidens - singing and bringing joy to the village. Beautiful long locks of hair were the ideal man's hairstyle - a sign of vitality and health, while the eagle feathers symbolize clouds and the prayers for rain carried skyward. Raymond Chee is an award-winning Hopi artist, specializing in wood carvings featuring southwestern Indigenous subjects and cultural history of his ancestral people – which also includes Dine (Navajo) and Apache tribes. He is well known for his lifelike dancing figures that are highly detailed, capturing movement and energy - incredibly Chee has stated that he carves from his mind and does not use any photos or drawings when planning these sculptures! Size: 4.5" Diameter x 10.75" H (11.4 cm x 27.3 cm)
Provenance: Private Vero Beach, Florida, USA collection, acquired from Southwest Trading Co., St. Charles, Illinois, USA on November 9, 1991
