These beautiful bronze pieces are the work of Gerry Quotskuyva. Most of the Kachina Dolls at the market were carved from wood. My photo does not do these pieces justice. They should really be seen in person.

I would love to see them in person! They are gorgeous.
Some artists are really talented! ;-)
I'm really enjoying this series Randy. I've been in love with southwest art for many years. xo
LOve those colours, especially the turquoise.
Great work! Dolls looking amazing...
I like the little ones !
You can tell that a lot went into making those dolls.
He is a master artist, for sure! Thanks for the link!
Impressive works!
I would not have known there were of bronze and would have assumed they were carved of wood. I like Kachina dolls although I can't recall ever owning one. But they are so colorful. These are very well done!
I've never seen Kachinas made of bronze before. Beautiful artistry.
I can't even imagine how long it must take to carve something like this...true artistry.
wow. impressive!
Hello!
I'm wishing I have some of this pieces in my house...
There are amazing!
I remember in 4th grade learning about the American Indians, we had to make a kachina doll. I didn't understand them then and still don't. They look alien.
Would make a nice collection!
Very detailed pieces and all in bronze, beautiful!
I know a little about these dolls, but I have never seen one. These are really beautiful!
really interesting and nice !
ciao
I could gladly own one of these - they are gorgeous, Randy!
I was so amazed to see Kachina dolls up close in Santa Fe. I listened to a friend (born and bred there) describe them and it really made me fall in love with these pieces. These are beautiful.
Beautiful!
I love these!
I'm glad you mentioned they are bronze because that makes me appreciate them all the more.
The works you've shown the last few days are terrific. Thx for sharing.
Love these, Randy.
Awesome Dolls! looking beautiful..nice work..
Such a nice series Randy and Kachinas are such attractive and intriguing pieces.
These dolls are wonderful!
I remember them! They are also mentioned in many of Tony Hillerman's novels.
I just saw this post and need to clarify. I am Gerry Quotskuyva, the carver of these pieces. THEY ARE NOT BRONZES. I had one bronze on the table, and that led to this confusion. Sorry about that... These pieces were carved out of the Cottonwood Root,as dictated by tradition. My understanding as an Hopi carver is that we are to never sculpt the Katsinam in Bronze.
