Native American Hopi Carved Water Serpent Warrior Katsina Doll

Description

Native American Hopi Carved Water Serpent Warrior Katsina Doll by Thomas Takala

This water serpent represents Palolokong, the plumed horned serpent who saved the Pueblo people during a flood. This is a rarely seen dancer and an unusual carving. We have not seen a Water Serpent carving in almost 20 years. This pristine piece came from a private collection.
