A vintage Snake dancer Kachina doll, hand carved from wood and adorned with leather and fur. Artist signed on bottom (Snake by Largo). Carries a snake in his mouth. The Snake Dancer, although not a "Kachina", holds a unique and revered role. The ceremony is considered one of the most sacred. During this ritual, the Snake Dancer captures a snake and performs a dance, often with the snake in his mouth. Once the dance concludes, the snake is returned to its habitat, carrying a message to Mother Earth, requesting her blessings for their wishes. Nice condition with slight overall wear. Cracked wood base. Please see photos. Thanks for looking!
