The Buffalo Dancer or Kocha Mosairu is not a Kachina, but rather a social dancer. It is usually seen in ceremonies in January on First Mesa. It is a doll that most carvers do not mind doing as part of their repertoire. His popularity began from the works of Alvin James Makya who made one of the first dolls. It is now a favorite among collectors. All animals are an important part of the Hopi culture, they are believed to provide guidance, health, and protection.

Award winning artist Keith Torres and his work, can be seen in the book, "Katchina Dolls and Their Carvers" by Theda Bassman. He is one of the most creative Hopi Carvers around. With his own style of carving, Keith has shown an incredible art talent, his carving and detailing combination have produced among the best Kachina dolls to date. He puts a lot of time and effort into his Kachina Dolls, trying to make them as perfect as he sees them in his own mind. Starting in 1985, Keith was taught how to carve by Edward Poleahla. One of the things he enjoys most in the creation of a Kachina doll is the painting. Keith was born on December 14th, 1963 in Window Rock, Arizona. He is a part of the Coyote and Fire Clans of the Hopi Tribe.

This Kachina Doll is made of cottonwood root and is signed on the side of the base "Keith Torres".

    During the past 2/3 years I have purchased earrings and recently an earring and bracelet matching set. I have given some as presents to my nieces who have been overjoyed to receive something a bit different. Quality and service excellent.

    Beginning of an Heirloom.
    Posted by Sonny Robertson | Reviewing NativeAmericanJewelry.com | Posted on
    When she opened the box, I thought she would begin to cry as she teared up. She gave me a multicolored ring for my October birthday and I chose one for her as close as I could find in her size for Christmas. She loved it and we will treasure them! Thanks

    Ordering is easy, the customer service rep. is such a nice young lady (THanks AMY) always willing to help at any time. The only issue i had was getting the order in time though, i'm positive it was the christmas holiday that delayed my order.

    Earrings and Pendant
    Posted by KA Monk | Reviewing NativeAmericanJewelry.com | Posted on
    I purchased a pair of earrings and pendant for a co-worker whose is of Navajo and Hopi descent. The items were beautiful and she was overwhelmed by the fact that they were Native American items. She said, "They are Navajo!" Great!
