Vtg/Antique Hopi Kachina Doll Laguna Corn, Laguna Gambler 12 1/2 "
Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:1087953 | Tribal Affiliation: Hopi |
| Featured Refinements: Hopi Kachina Doll |
Up for offer we have A Hopi Kachina Doll, This katsina has regularly been called a Laguna Gambler. It is not known where that name originated. It is a Hopi Katsina and its Hopi name is Sotungtaka. Barton Wright, in his Complete Guide to Collecting Kachina Dolls, calls the Sotungtaka, “Laguna Corn Kachina” so there is some confusion regarding the proper translation. Harold Colton, in his Hopi Kachina Dolls book, does not list Sotungtaka, a...nd neither does Alph Secakuku, in his book on Hopi katsinas. We are therefore down to only one reference for this katsina, and that is Barton Wright, who states “This Corn Kachina appeared quite recently, apparently within the last twenty years. There are two main varieties that appear with each other. One is clothed and acts as the side dancer for the other who appears bare chested. Some Hopi say that he comes from Santo Domingo and other aver he is from Laguna. He dances gracefully gesturing with the objects in his hands. This form is sometimes called the Laguna Gambler.”
This Is From Research, as this one had no paperwork or letters.

Hi, this is a nice doll. FYI, despite the tag on the foot, this is actually a Velvet Shirt Katsina of Navan. The so-called Laguna Gambler is way different.
