Kachinas: Their history and appeal

We don't carry kachinas (or katsinas) for the most part.


We have one or two that we acquired for our own pleasure - and one was recently added to the
TribalWorks web site / Native American art gallery.



But we ran across this interesting article about them.

If you are a collector or thinking of collecting or know someone who collects kachinas, you may find this article interesting too. You may even want to let others know about it.




As always, our interest in tribal art extends beyond the pieces we carry as dealers and as gallery owners.
