Old Style Hopi Carved Hoote Traditional Katsina Doll by Maxwell Talahytewa

The symbols on the face of Hoote may be flowers, forecasting spring or the stars and the moon. The face painting on this particular Katsina is a very old style and rarely seen. He appears in ordinary dances and at Niman (Home Going).
