Old Style Hopi Carved Bean Traditional Katsina Doll by Ranier Koruh

The Bean Katsina (Muzribi) represents a prayer for increased beans for planting. Appears in the Bean Dance (Powamuya) and the Mixed Dances. Ranier did a great job on this larger Katsina, including the prayer sticks (pahos) and the shells on his bandolier.
