Antique Carved Wooden Indian Chair With Kachinas And Raised Snakes On The Arms

The Meekins Collection

An exceptionally rare and visually compelling American Indian chair, richly carved with symbolic and figural elements. The design incorporates carved faces in a Northwest Coast style along with wooden snakes sculpted in relief along the arms, creating a powerful interplay of form and meaning.

The upright posts are adorned with carved Kachina faces, reflecting Pueblo spiritual iconography and ceremonial tradition. The combination of stylistic influences suggests a highly individual and imaginative work, likely created in the early 20th century during a period of growing interest in Native American artistic expression and cross-regional inspiration.

The seat lifts out to reveal interior storage, adding practical function to its sculptural presence. The craftsmanship demonstrates careful hand carving and strong structural construction, with surface wear consistent with age that enhances its authenticity and character.
