Kachina dolls are carvings of religious figures, traditionally presented as gifts in Hopi culture, and represent supernatural beings or the men who embody them in ritual dances. While the inscription identifies the artist as Diné, the subject matter of the doll (Maiden) is consistent with Hopi traditions, suggesting a cross-cultural artistic influence or a specific interpretation by the artist. These hand-carved Navajo Yei figure set also noted as Yei dolls or Yei-style carvings. Stored in smoke free home on display shelf. Excellent condition
