Kachina Doll

Jane Iverson

National Gallery of Art

The image features three standing Kachina dolls. The first doll has a tall headdress in a geometric pattern. The second doll has a cylindrical shape with foliage. The third doll has black ears and yellow fringe. The color palette includes pastel shades of red, brown, blue, pink, and yellow, with accents of white and tan. Positioned centrally, the doll with the headdress stands between the other two; to the left is the cylindrical figure, and to the right is the doll with black ears and fringe, all set against a plain background.
