Old Style Hopi Carved Harvester Traditional Katsina Doll by Meldon Lomayaktewa

This Harvester (Keme) is also known as Corn Dancer Katsina. The name Keme means "to the house" so he might be interpreted to be a Going-Home Katsina. This Katsina is one of the many corn Katsinam who appear regularly. He is a prayer for the fruition of corn and can appear in almost every dance. The colors on the face may vary. This Harvester has the Hopi rain clouds on his cheeks.
