Old Style Hopi Carved Frog Maid Traditional Rain Katsina Doll by Kevin Sekakaku
The Frog Maid (Paqua Mana) is the female partner of the Frog Katsina (Paqua) and is most likely a Water Clan Katsina. This Katsina is supposed to have originated in a prank at Shungopavi in the late 1960s. During a dance, rasping noises were heard coming from a huge box covered with painted paper. During a pause in the dance the paper broke and the Frog Katsinam hopped out. On a more serious side, water is truly the staff of life here in the arid southwest and the frog would be a harbinger of rain and therefore a welcome site in Hopiland.
