Kachina Doll

Painted wooden figure is a Hopi bird, a Duck Kachina, with blue mask and large black and white beak with bright red hair of yarn and neck ruff collar of green yarn. The figure wears feathers attached to the top and proper left side of its head. The beak is painted with white with black dots on the underside. The figure wears a white dance kilt and a white rain sash with long fringe hanging down the right side. His proper left arm is adorned with a leather cuff and holds a stick; the proper right arm holds a gourd dance rattle. "Duck" is written lightly in pencil(?) on bottom of the proper left foot and very light text that is almost illegible is written in the same medium on the bottom of the proper right foot.
