Description

Native American Hopi Carved Korososta Planting Katsina Doll by Thomas Fredericks

Korososta represents the seeds of different plants and has influence over the growth of the corn. He often carries corn kernels in his sack. The audience at the dance is anxious to receive any of this seed corn he cares to pass out. Sometimes he is called Ota from the first words of his song. His dances represent planting. This is a sweet carving with soft colors by Tom.
