Description

Native American Hopi Carved Mocking Katsina Doll by Frankie Howard

The Mocking Katsina (Kwikwilyaka or Pachavu) appears in the Mixed and Summer dances. He gives commentary on improper social behavior. This Katsina mimics the actions of others. This wonderful piece by Frankie Howard shows the Mocking just going off to work. He is complete with a lunchbox, his safety vest, and tattoos on his arms. Quite a classic road worker!
