I am offering a Beautiful vintage Deer Dancer figure signed “Paja”, measuring approximately 15 inches tall including the base.
This striking handcrafted figure features an elaborate deer-style fur headdress, natural-looking fur throughout the costume, decorative feathers, a turquoise-blue sash, white leg and arm coverings, and two reddish-brown dance sticks. The figure stands on a wonderfully rustic natural wood/burl-style base.
The underside of the base is hand marked “DEER” and signed “Paja.”
I have owned this piece for approximately 20 years, and it was given to me by a Native American friend.
Details:
* Signed: Paja

* Deer Dancer subject
* Fur and feather decoration

Condition: Pre-owned vintage condition. There is age-related wear to the natural materials. The underside of the wooden base shows some age-related cracking/checking. Please examine all photographs carefully, as they are an important part of the description. All in all I would say it is in very good condition….
Important attribution note: The figure is signed Paja, but I do not have documentation establishing the artist’s full identity or specific tribal affiliation. It is therefore being sold based on the visible signature, craftsmanship and provenance described above.
