Three traditional Native American Kachina dolls stand on wooden pedestals. The dolls have intricately carved and painted wooden bodies, adorned with colorful feathers, beads, and other embellishments. The central doll has a fierce, open-mouthed expression and feathers protruding outward, representing a powerful spirit or deity. The dolls on either side have more subdued expressions, with intricate headdresses and elaborate patterns painted on their bodies. These dolls are iconic cultural artifacts used in ceremonial dances and rituals by the Hopi and other Pueblo tribes of the American Southwest.
