Old Style Hopi Carved Hoote Traditional Katsina Doll by Paul Huma

The symbols on the face of this unusual white Hoote can be flowers, forecasting spring or, as in this case, just the star and the moon. He appears in ordinary dances and at Niman (Home Going). The white Hoote has the same responsibilies as the Black Hoote; only the mask color is different.
