Eagle Dancer (Kwahu) Kachina

The Eagle Kachina appears in the annual Anktioni (Repeat Dances), held each year in March.  Its appearance is meant as a prayer for an increase in the population of eagles, which occupy a position of great honor among the Hopi.  Theron's exquisite miniature is carved entirely from a single piece of cottonwood root.
