Old Style Hopi Carved Planet Traditional Fearsome Katsina Doll by Tyler Scott

Planet or Star Katsina (Sotoknang or Sotuknangu) controls the movement of the stars and planets. He is a fearsome Katsina who can strike people with lightning, scattering them about in pieces. He then puts them back together, but when he does, they are put together all wrong. This Planet is a Third Mesa version. He is carrying his lightning frame which he points up into the sky to attract the lightning which brings the rain.
