Native American Hopi Carved Ball Player Katsina Dolls by Jocelyn Honanie Vote
These ball player Katsinam (Tatacmu) are always two identical players in a very old game of strike ball. Each has hold of a string attached to the ball, jerking and swinging it to keep the other player from striking the ball. Sometimes the Tatacmu appear in the fast parade and infrequently in summer dances with the clowns. In Shungopavi and Kykotsmovi the Tatacum are considered clowns or Piptuka and they challenge the boys to play with them. Jocelyn Honanie Vote did a wonderful job on something that we, at Kachina House, have never seen. Click on numbered boxes below image for additional views.
