Native American Hopi Carved Crow Man Warrior Katsina Doll by Vernon Parker

Crow Man (Angwus Katsina) is one of the warriors who make war on the clowns during the Plaza Dances or who appear in the Soyohim of late spring. He comes to threaten the clowns for their non-Hopi behavior, appearing again and again until finally he and others who have the same function descend upon the clowns and thoroughly chastize them. This is a wonderful older carving by Vernon Parker. Click on numbered boxes below image for additional views.
