Kachina Doll Native American Sculptures

I have been working to restore southwestern Native American Kachina Doll sculptures. The six sculptures had damaged feathers and accessories survived by moving from Arizona to the northwest. I was successfully able to replace the missing feathers, fur, and restore the accessories. I was also able to locate missing feathers for one of the Kachina dolls. The missing feathers came from a female Ring Neck pheasant, provide by a taxidermist.





























Here is a before restoration photograph of the Kachina with missing Ring Neck pheasant feathers.
