    so I have this kachina and though the artists name is not on the doll itself they are attributed on the tag itself. I'm hoping someone might either recognize the name or decipher it..TIA for your help!!

    measurements are:
    7.75" tall 3.25" wide 3.25" deep

    Looking at the tag, I am going to guess pre 1960s souvenir.

    The last name starts with Loma, but so do many Hopi names.
    A well known carver is Justin Lomatewama, but this is nothing like his name.

    Waldina Lomayaktewao? It doesn't quite look like that but Google came up with it as Hopi.
