Native American Hopi Carved Crow Man Warrior Kachina Doll (Katsina Doll)

Description

Native American Hopi Carved Crow Man Warrior Katsina Doll by Gerry Quotskuyva

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 chastise them. This is a classic style by Gerry. We acquired this piece through a private collector.
