- Lot Description
Raymond Chee, Sr. (Native American, Hopi, 1961 - present) "The Blesin' of the Morning Spirit," ca. late 20th century CE. A beautiful wood carving by Hopi / Navajo artist Raymond Chee, praising the new day in a feather headdress with an eagle claw staff. Spiritual leaders traditionally will pray and sing morning prayers; greeting the day clears the mind and brings forth a rejuvenated energy going into the new day. Raymond Chee is an award-winning Hopi artist using techniques and traditional subject and cultural history matter from his ancestral people - which also includes Dine (Navajo) and Apache. He is well known for his lifelike kachina and dancer figures that are highly detailed, capturing their movement and energy - incredibly Chee has stated that he carves from his mind and does not use any photos or drawings when planning these sculptures! Size: 3.5" Diameter x 18.25" H (8.9 cm x 46.4 cm)
Provenance: Private Vero Beach, Florida, USA collection, acquired from Southwest Trading Co., St. Charles, Illinois, USA on December 3, 1991
