Native American Hopi Carved Broadface Guard Katsina Doll by Keith Torres

The Broadface Katsina (Wuyak-kuita) is among the guards who prevent any transgression on the path of the Katsinas. Often called the Broadface Whipper Katsina, he carries yucca fronds that he uses frequently as whips, particularly on clowns, who are terrified of him. He is an important figure in the winter Bean Dance (Powamuya) procession. This Broadface by Keith Torres is a powerful carving of a powerful guard.
