1991 Native American Hopi Wolf Kachina by Sakhomenewa (Robert Albert) measures 2.5'' x 2.5'' x 8.5'', signed by artist, FYI: ''For Albert, who grew up in the Third Mesa village of Moencopi in Arizona, the dances were enthralling. A mischievous kid who got into fights, played with matches, and ditched school, he found there was something about the clowns that resonated. But at 10, when he was inducted into the kachina society and granted access to tribal secrets, he left his childish ways behind, assuming the Hopi moniker, Sakhomenewa, given to him by his grandmother. She was a member of the tobacco clan and chose a name that meant ''tobacco that has been laid out straight to dry.''
