Description: In the Zuni and Hopi Pueblo Indian cultures everything is alive with spirit. The Deer Dancer (Sowi-ingwa) helps to ensure that game is plentiful and that sufficient snow comes in the winter to allow a good harvest the following year. The dance symbolizes the struggle between good and evil – between the deer and the coyote hunter. The Deer Dancer holds sticks in each hand to imitate the front legs of a deer and a spruce ruff at his neck for good luck, peace and protection. At 12” tall, this Kachina is beautifully detailed from its antlers and feathers to its kilt and deerskin boots. This Deer Dancer Kachina was hand carved of cottonwood root by Hopi artist, Valjean Lalo, an award-winning kachina carver. Valjean Lalo is from the village of Hotevilla on Third Mesa (Hopi Reservation, Arizona).
