Native American Hopi Chasing Star Katsina Doll by Eugene Dallas
The Chasing Star (Na-ngasohu) Katsina is also called Comet Katsina and Planet Katsina. Hopis differ in regard to what this Katsina represents. Some say he represents a planet; to others he represents a meteor streaking across the sky. Chasing Star usually appears at the Bean Dance (Powamuya) or at a Mixed Dance. His function is no longer known. The Chasing Star's most identifying features are his enormous headdress of trailing eagle feathers (Plains Indian war bonnet style) and his turquoise green or yellow case mask with its red-outlined black star across the face and red tab ears.Click on numbered boxes below image for additional views.
