Description

Native American Hopi Carved Moon Katsina Doll by Eloy Talahytewa

The Moon Katsina (Muyaow or Hololo) has the power to cover the moon during an eclipse. His generic name, Hololo, comes from the song he sings. This is a beautiful carving by Eloy. He carved the figure with substance, the Moon has a presence about him, and yet, the longbeard and sashes are fluid.
