@TAH In order to not hijack @Ziacat thread, I am posting this here.
Here is the collection we brought home. They are all Robert Tewa Hopi, from a deceased collector that bought them directly from him. I love how the artist includes N.A. jewelry.
Some of them had a bit of damage when we bought them but decided to purchase them anyway as they were a collection that someone sought out and purchased over several years.
Absolutely amazing!! I can’t begin to imagine the work involved in making those. Glad they got home safely. And there’s that photo of Canyon De Chelly that I love!
I hope to get there one day as well as Shiprock.
You will love them both! In the meantime, if you haven’t read any, check out the Tony Hillerman mystery novels (and his daughter Anne’s). They will totally make you feel like you are there.
I have read all of his books except the first few as they are hard to find secondhand as a readers budget.
Fantastic collection, @here4turquoise!
We think alike!! If you can find the first few, they are great. I read that he never really intended Leaphorn to be his main character, and his role isn’t super big in the first book. But then he decided to go with him, and aren’t we glad he did!
Sometimes you can find the first three as one big book, that’s what we have.
Thank you @mmrogers.
Kachinas were not on my trip wishlist. We even thought about it for a couple of days. Before leaving Camp Verde area, we went back to the trading post and they were still there. We had to buy them.
This is the one that I was most concerned about buying….
This knife is the only piece that was damaged in packing/shipping.
@Ziacat Is there one that focuses on kachinas?
Great collection. Is that Koshari (pottery piece off to the right) a Kathleen Wall piece?
Yes, Dance hall of the Dead. I believe it was his second book, but it involved Zuni kachinas.
I gotta say, that kachina would bother me also; especially since my hubby is named after his Catholic priest uncle 
I couldn’t break the 14 piece collection as it would leave 13. 
@Jason I’m not sure but you can contact the Jim’s Trading Post near Camp Verde. It might be in Rimrock, AZ. That place is loaded with treasures as well as colorful locals. It was definitely a highlight of our trip.
Hmmm, I’m Catholic and just “liked” your Priest Killer post. I probably should go to confession. 
Found this on the internet…
During the Pueblo Revolt of 1680, the Pueblo Indians of New Mexico and Arizona revolted against the Catholic Church in an attempt to retain their religious freedom. Legend states that a Hopi named Yowe killed and beheaded a Franciscan priest. After this incident, the Hopi referred to Yowe or the Priest Killer as an Ogre Katsina that had the power to punish others.
@TAH Wow, thank you for the 17th century history lesson on the Ogre kachina. I come to this forum to learn and today did not disappoint! Thanks again!
Oh, this is a Fabulous collection!! Glad they all found a good home with you & will be cherished. You made me laugh. I had already counted them lined-up on your furniture. And thought, whew, at least it’s not 13 of 'em, lol.
Thank you @Patina. I was thrilled to find them and in one location.
Do you have a favorite?
I love all of them equally 
as each one has special details.
