Pueblo, Doll of Mud-Head or Clown (Koyemsi) Carrying Kiaklo Kachina, 1910-1925
Gift of Miss Ima Hogg
The Southwest component presents an unbroken visual history of the Pueblo peoples of northern Arizona and New Mexico from prehispanic times to the mid-20th century. It also includes works from the last 125 years made by the Navajo, the Apache, and other seminomadic peoples.
Ceramics, kachina dolls, watercolors, textiles, baskets, stone and silver jewelry, and various kinds of wooden objects are represented. Highlights of the ceramics are a rare, unbroken Mimbres jar, and a large black-on-black jar made by the most famous of the modern Pueblo potters, Maria and Julian Martinez. Of special significance are the 130 kachina dolls made between 1900 and 1933 and 95 works from the school of Native American painters of the 1920s and 1930s.
