An incredible beautiful "Black Ogre"  carving by Tony Parkett. Tony Parkett made Kachina dolls along the side of his late sister Bertha Bernally (1946-2011) who made a career out of carving kachina dolls. He is the son of Mary Parkett and Grant Parkett from Sheep Springs, Navajo Nation. Circa 1970's. In mint condition. Pictures do not do it justice. Made of cottonwood, then hand painted and adorned. His outfit is made of real suede and fur; adorned with real seashells. Even the snake he holds is made of suede and hand painted. Though it does not appear so in the pictures, his eyes are made of the same wood. He stands 18" tall and is ~7" across from elbow to elbow. Ogres are disciplinary kachinas who come to the villages on First and Second Mesa either during the Pwamu Cermony or immediately thereafter. They arrive to frighten children and keep their behavior under control. Some arrive with baskets on their back to carry children away who have been naughty. They also demand food shortly after their arrival. Each house in the village is visited. There are known to be 8 Ogres, altogether. The Black Ogre "Natask" accompanies " Soyoko" on their collection trip and usually stand directly behind the member of the crew who is bargaining with the relatives of the children. They make horrible noises. All the while, they keep up a steady stamping that make the turtle-shells rattle on their legs sound ominously.  Feel free to a ask any questions. Please look at pictures carefully. Comes from a smoke free environment. Thank you for looking.
