Raynard Lalo is a younger
old-style carver, but is quickly developing his own style. He
prides himself on his clean approach and use of mineral based
pigments.
"There are two types
of Badger Kachinas: the old Hopi Badger Kachina and a more recent
import from the Rio Grande. The old Hopi Badger was a curing
kachina that the Honani clan brought from the ancient village
of Kisiwu. Prayers for the growth of healing herbs are given
to him."
"In recent years another
type of Badger Kachina has made his appearance, but it is not
yet known whether this one serves the same function or not."
