    Description

    NATIVE AMERICAN
    GERMINATION KACHINA BY JEROME NEQUATEWA
    Half Hopi, half Zuni Jerome Nequatewa was raised with the knowledge of the culture and customs of both the Hopi and the Zuni.  Jerome was taught to carve by his father, the late Harold Nequatewa.  Jerome’s kachinas are delicately carved, showing attention to movement and detail.
    The Germination god or Ahola is a chief kachina of very high order. He is considered an elder and a very wise chief.  The Ahola appears at the Powamu ceremony to open the beginning of the Kachina season.  The Ahola brings prayers for a long and healthful life.
    Jerome yields to the natural shape of cottonwood root in order to create this wonderfully carved Hummingbird Kachina.  This marvelous carving would be a great addition to your kachina or Native American art collection.  (note-there are natural knots in the wood)   Signed
