Native American Hopi Carved Mudhead Kachina Doll (Katsina Doll)

Description

Native American Hopi Carved Mudhead Katsina Doll by John Fredericks

This Mudhead (Toson Koyemsi) is the Sweet Cornmeal-Tasting Mudhead who demands the girls grind corn. He returns four days later to sit and taste the cornmeal to see if it was well ground and sweet. This version with the long robe is the Second Mesa version. The robe is simply carved and painted. A very sweet carving by John, this little guy and just sitting and waiting to taste the cornmeal.
