From the Whittredge Estate, we have 2 Native American Hopi Kachinas, the Ogre Kachina is by Coolidge Roy and measures 5''H x 2.5''W and is signed by artist, both are embellished with feathers, FYI: Coolidge Roy Jr. and his wife Juanita live on Third Mesa in Oraibi, Arizona. Coolidge has long been famous for his magnificently beautiful Eagle Dancer Kachina dolls. Coolidge's father was a carver as are his brothers and sons. Fine examples of Coolidge's work can be found in most books on Hopi art including Hopi Kachina Dolls and their carvers by Theda Bassman, and Erik Bromberg's The Hopi Approach to the Art of Kachina Doll Carving. Coolidge was born on August 4, 1950 and has been carving for well over 30 years. His work is well-known and can be recognized easily because of his unique style. One of the most noticeable aspects of his carvings is the ''natural'' coloration that he achieves by using only very faint pigments.
