Old Style Hopi Carved Butterfly Maiden Traditional Katsina Doll by Paul Huma
Palhik Mana is a Butterfly Maiden; not a Katsina, but a woman dancer. She generally appears in August, as that is when the butterflies appear. The Butterfly Dance, a traditional social dance of the Hopi, is held in August after the gathering of the harvest and presentation of the Snake Dance. It is a thanksgiving dance for the harvest, chiefly for the corn crop.
