<p>[QUOTE="Tzvia, post: 850788, member: 11720"]I was at a local antique shop about 5 years ago and spotted these two sad Kachinas in sad shape. I love Native American jewelry, rugs and pottery but Kachinas are outside my wheelhouse. However, these two spoke to me; I had to rescue them from further degradation so I bought them. The Mudhead, about 1" taller than the Ogre Woman, stands 18.5" tall from the foot (not the bottom of the base), so these aren't the 7"~9" tall Kachinas I am more used to seeing in my travels. I know zero about them other than what I see and can read on their undersides. Trying to find out the carver, who's mark appears to be the outline of a foot 'branded' into the underside. Wondering if anyone here could shed light on who that person is or anything else about them? Thanks.</p><p>[GALLERY=media, 4910]Black Ogre by Tzvia posted Aug 11, 2019 at 1:05 PM[/GALLERY]</p><p>[GALLERY=media, 4911]Ogre info by Tzvia posted Aug 11, 2019 at 1:06 PM[/GALLERY][GALLERY=media, 4912]Mudhead by Tzvia posted Aug 11, 2019 at 1:06 PM[/GALLERY][GALLERY=media, 4913]Mudhead info by Tzvia posted Aug 11, 2019 at 1:06 PM[/GALLERY][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
