Crow Man

17 1/4" total height


"Angwus Kachina is the Crow Kachina. This kachina is one of the warriors who make war on the clowns during the Plaza Dances or who appear in the Soyohim of late spring.

"He comes to threaten the clowns for their immoderate behavior, appearing again and again until finally he and others who have the same function descend upon the clowns and thoroughly chastize them."

- Barton Wright, Kachinas: a Hopi Artist's Documentary (158)


Dennis Tewa is one of the greatest modern kachina carvers. He is featured in nearly every major publication dealing with kachinas and has won many awards. His work can be found in museums and private collections around the world. He is an important name in any Hopi kachina collection.

He rarely carves anymore, as he spends a great deal of time in his traditional leadership roles and in the kiva.

When he does carve, his finished pieces usually end up at Santa Fe Indian Market, where you can expect to pay $8k-plus for a newer work.
