Old Style Hopi Carved Twister Traditional Harvest Katsina Doll by Marc Bilagody

The Twister Katsina is a harvest dancer who gets his name from his dance which imitates corn twisting in the wind. This is an unusual Katsina and is rarely carved. He can be confused with many of the Corn Katsinam because of his mask and the fact that he dances for a bountiful harvest.
