These have silk backs and woolen ties for attachment to dining chairs and a thin down filling, great colors and dense weave the chalky forest green + brick red color are beautiful-from LBC flea on Sunday....in house relatives here.

Group of six Hopi Kachina dolls, 1960's/70's from LBC flea on Sunday, again this was one persons collection from an estate sale kept together. The first two are larger and carved/notched from one switch of wood (no glued elements apart from long gone feathers)-the bottom four are a little more roadside production line but make a nice supporting cast-nutty little guys. In house relatives here and here.
