Ex-French collection of tribal art. Animating the traditions of the Hopi Indian peoples of Arizona, the very decorative sculpted objects Katsinam (sing. Kachina) are expressed during traditional dances accompanying the annual rain festivals. Traditional Kachinam dolls are, for the Pueblo Native American group (Hopi, Zuni, Tewa Village, Acoma Pueblo and Laguna Pueblo), educational tools offered to children at the end of ritual festivals. These statuettes, embodying a great diversity of spirits, represent katchina dancers and the colors are associated with the cardinal points. The grainy, polychrome patina is matte and velvety, with slight abrasions.
