Old Style Hopi Carved Duck Traditional Bird Katsina Doll by Tyler Scott

The Duck (Pawik) is a prayer for rain or moisture, and he appears in the Mixed Dances and the Kiva Dances much earlier in the year. He is often danced in June when the need for water is great. This is the Second Mesa version (Pawiki).
