Native American Hopi Carved Roadrunner Katsina Doll by Eric Roy

Roadrunner (Hospoa) appears during the nighttime Kiva Dances or during the Mixed Katsina Dances in the spring. He is one of many bird Katsinam of the Hopi. He is a side dancer and an inhabitant of the arid southwestern desert. This Roadrunner by Eric has wonderful motion and a clever stand carved to look like the skeleton of a cactus.
