Mother Kachina

Picture of the Day for 12/29/2015. I bought this Hopi kachina during my most recent visit to the Native American Trading Post. The owner looked up the meaning of this one and said it was the "mother" figure of all the kachinas.  I love that. I love that it is painted red which reminds me of my mother since that was her favorite color.  I placed this next to a Christmas decoration she made decades ago. I miss her a lot of course, but Christmas is when I miss her the most.
