Description: Proudly Presented today is this superlative Mocking Kachina. This unique clown, with telescope eyes, perfectly mimics the actions of whoever interests him. His mocking gestures are delightful, but when he turns his attention on the Kachina dancers themselves, the dancers quickly lose patience. In order to rid themselves of his perfect mimicry, they finally pantomime setting their hair on fire, which the Mocking Kachina does, literally, running around the courtyard screaming, with his hair actually on fire, to the delight of the crowds. This wonderful example is by the very well-known Sheldon Talas, of Polacca. Sheldon's career spanned over 5 decades, and he passed away in 2010. This Mocking Kachina, standing 7 inches tall and made in 1990, is depicted in the unusual pose of making a Kachina doll. Though whimsically posed it is startlingly realistic. It would be an incredible addition to your collection. Buy with complete confidence, because as you all know, if the buyer is unsatisfied for ANY reason, i will immediately return the full purchase price, shipping included. Sincere Thanks for your kind consideration and Congratulations in advance to the lucky buyer. Best Regards Always, Rich
