This exceptional, large kachina is distinguished by its archaism, poetry and evocative power.
In terms of provenance, this sculpture, acquired from New York dealer Merton D. Simpson on May 5, 1964, was part of the collection of Elaine Lustig Cohen (1927-2016), a renowned New York designer and artist.
Starting as early as the 1950s, Elaine Lustig and her husband Arthur Cohen assembled an outstanding ethnographic art collection, featuring remarkable Native American sculptures.

These effigies were an integral part of everyday activities, punctuating the family life of the Yoruba.
