Ros George
Kachin' Mana
8 1/4"
H with 3/4" base
The Kachin' Mana comes during
the Niman ceremony, or Home Dance. She is usually accompanied
by the Snow Maiden and the Hemis kachina.
Ros George is another top-tier
kachina carver whose work can be found in only the most descriminating
collections. As an award-winning carver, he focuses primarily
on pieces for his shows and long list of buyers from around the
world.
Ros is featured in "Hopi
Kachina Dolls and their Carvers" by Theda Bassman. His story
is a compelling one. He started with animal figures, but has
become well known for his Ahola - as presented here.
Ros took on his father's name
after his father passed. He signs "R."
This is a nice example of
a very collectible carver in his own unique style - clean and
classic.
