This striking vintage postcard features a vivid lithograph print of three traditional Hopi Kachina dolls carved from cottonwood roots by artisan Henry Shelton. Displayed against a dark backdrop, the dolls represent the Corn Dancer, Crow Mother, and Sun Kachinas, each adorned with intricate, colorful costumes and symbolic headdresses. The detailed artistry captures the essence of Hopi cultural craftsmanship and ceremonial tradition. The postcard was distributed by Smith-Southwestern, Inc., with Native American crafts provided by The Heard Museum in Phoenix, Arizona. The photo was taken by Jerry Jacka, a noted photographer of Native American subjects. Measuring 6 x 4 inches (continental size), this original printed lithograph postcard dates from the late 20th century and offers collectors a vibrant glimpse into Native American heritage and artistry, making it a valuable addition to ethnographic and cultural postcard collections. Keywords: Hopi dolls, Kachina, Native American art, cottonwood carvings, Heard Museum, Jerry Jacka, traditional crafts, vintage postcard.
