Description
Old Style Hopi Carved Warrior Twin Traditional Warrior Katsina Doll by Raynard Lalo
Warrior Twins or Two Little War Gods (Po-okang-hoya and Palo-ngao-hoya) are twin gods, grandsons of Spider Woman, and are personated by young boys. They mingle with the people and play tricks on them, but if the people are in trouble they appeal to their wise grandmother who shows them how to help the people outwit evil. They are not associated with any particular ceremony, nor are they personated by members of any particular group. Po-okang-hoya wears a skull cap with feathers. His face is painted black with two vertical white lines, warrior symbols, on his cheeks and white around the mouth and eyes.
