I am not sure of the name on the bottom of this kachina. I have had the pleasure of having it on my mantles for 42 years. I have a couple others which I got near Tombstone.

This is a souvenir Navajo carving, not an authentic Hopi or Pueblo kachina doll. Like most Navajo "kachina" carvings, there is no attempt to accurately depict an actual Hopi kachina. Hototo is not the name of the carver, it is the name of a kachina...which is an entirely different kachina than the Buffalo kachina. This carving looks nothing like a Buffalo kachina, and only vaguely like Hototo. It's just a decorative carving.
Thank you
