Vintage Hopi Black Ogre By James Walker, 17”: $157.50
Vintage 17” Hopi Black Ogre Kachina, Signed James Walker as Kachina, worshiped by the Puebloan tribes (including the Taos, Acoma, Zuni, and Hopi). The mythology of the Kachina known and worshipped differs widely from tribe to tribe. Black Ogre is a member of the "Ogre Kachina" a class of the pantheon who were worshiped as enforcers of good behavior. Also called Nata-aska, the Black Ogre kachina carries a bow and arrow and sometimes a knife or saw for hunting. He has flapping jaws which are always clacking. During the days of the American Frontier, an outlaw named Ryker and his men supplied guns to a local tribe of Apaches to attack a tribe of Puebloan people. When the outlaw hero Kid Colt came to the aid of the Pueblos, Ryker had one of his men dress up as the Black Ogre to scare the Pueblos using their mythology against them. Kid Colt exposed this hoax and went after Ryker and his remaining men, but his horse Steel tripped over a rope trap sending Kid Colt falling off his horse. Before Ryker and his men could slay him, the real Black Ogre appeared, slaughtered Ryker and his men, and disappeared as suddenly as he appeared.
