Description

Native American Hopi Carved Hano Mana Katsina Doll by Gerry Quotskuyva

The Hano Mana, just like the Grandmother (Hahay-i wu-uti), is a favorite for the first or second gift to the girls by the men of their villages. Hano Mana appears in the Bean Dance on Second Mesa and in the Water Serpent Ceremony on First Mesa. This is a classic sstyle for Gerry. We acquired this piece through a private collector.
