Native American Hopi Carved Disheveled Guard Katsina Doll

Description

Native American Hopi Carved Disheveled Guard Katsina Doll by Alexander Youvella Sr.

Disheveled Katsina (Motsin) enforces attendance in community work parties, such as cleaning of the springs, and he takes part in some ceremonies. This guard Katsina is not seen any longer, as the cleaning of the springs is mostly an activity of the past. This is the first Disheveled we have seen from Alex.
