Warrior Woman-One Whorl Up Girl

Cottonwood Root Warrior Woman-One Whorl Up Girl by Hopi Carver Valjean Lalo.

Known as ‘He Wuhti’, there is a male and female version based on different stories. For the male version of the Warrior did not have enough time to dress when the enemy approached so he had to wear his bride’s costume to quickly fight them. For the female story, she was finishing doing her hair when she saw the enemies approaching. With only one side of her hair up she quickly snatched her bow and arrow and defended her village until the men returned from the fields. This carving is 17 inches.
