Excellent Resource for Novice Kachina Collectors

As a relatively new collector of kachinas, I found this to be one of the three best guides for identifying vintage dolls, and also for garnering additional historical information on what each represents.

Kachinas: A Hopi Artist's Documentary

This is really a beautiful book. The pictures and descriptions are lovely and very authentic. I fell in love with so many kachinas in this book and wish I could collect more! I bought this when I knew only a little about kachinas and I learned a great deal about each character and along the way gained a real reverence for the Hopi's spirituality.

Kachinas: A Hopi Artist's Documentary

An essential for kachina collectors. Author Barton Wright is known as the authority on Hopi kachinas and this book (his major work) shows why. It contains descriptions of 255 kachinas, from the most "popular" to many lesser known and seldom carved dolls. The sketches by Cliff Bahnimptewa are very detailed ... some of the best in print. This book is certainly a "keeper" if you are a collector of this outstanding art of the Hopi. One to add to your library!
