Native American Hopi Carved Warrior Mouse Hero Kachina Doll (Katsina Doll)

Description

Native American Hopi Carved Warrior Mouse Hero Katsina Doll by Randolph David

Though not a Katsina, the Warrior Mouse is a hero to the Hopi of Second Mesa for having rid the people of a troublesome chickenhawk they had been unable to eliminate from the Mesa. The Mouse Warrior tricked the chickenhawk into impaling itself on a stake and thus became a hero to the people. This wonderful little mouse carries his shield, spear (needle) and his tomahawk and is ready for battle. Randolph did a great job on this carving.
