<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Taupou, post: 292289, member: 45&quot;]And now a comment on why the carver&#039;s name doesn&#039;t show up during research.&nbsp; It&#039;s probably just made up.</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Loma-&quot; as the beginning of a Hopi name is very common. The definitive reference on kachina doll carvers, <u>Hopi Katsina, 1600 Artist Biographies</u> by Gregory Schaaf, lists 63 of those 1600 carvers, whose last name starts with &quot;Loma-&quot;... but none with the last name &quot;Loman.&quot;&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Many of these souvenir carvings are factory-made on an assembly line, and usually feature felt pen writing on the bottom, to appear they were signed by the maker.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
