Native American Hopi Carved Four Horn Guard Kachina Doll (Katsina Doll)

Description

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

This rarely seen Katsina who has not appeared in recent memory has two names. The first is Hano Pohaha which is the sound he makes, and the second is Hopi Nalucala which means "four horns." No one is sure of his role, but it was one of a guard or a type of chief. This is a great carving of this unusual Katsina by Alex.
