Description: This 1970’s Native American Hopi , “ Chicken” Kachina measures 9” in height and is signed by the artisan Bernie Talus Bernie carved his Kachinas out of cotton wood root specifically for a Scottsdale Arizona Native American souvenir store in the 1970s. This singer Kachina has a brass bell to wake people up in the morning accompanied by his songs. He is wrapped in a wool blanket and painted in the most wonderful colors. I acquired 28 Bernie Sanders kachinas from the estate of one of his most ardent supporters Chicken (Kowako) is definitely post-Spanish and probably does not date much before 1850. There are folktales about the chicken and how he lost his girlfriend to the Mockingbird Katsina. He appears most often during Palolokong or the Winter Kiva Dances. Most of his appearances seem to be more comical, as though this Katsina may have first appeared as a Piptuka. (A sub-group of the clowns that are improvised only a night or two before their appearance in the dance. Any individual may appear as a Piptuka.) .
