Hopi katsina doll, Denver Art Museum, Colorado, USA

Sakwa Hu katsina, made by Tom Callateta, Hopi artist, in the 1980s, from wood, paint, fur, shells, cloth and feather, from the Elizabeth P Landry Collection, in the Denver Art Museum, Denver, Colorado, USA. Hopi katsina figures or kachina dolls are figures carved, typically from cottonwood root, by Hopi people to teach girls about katsinas or katsinam, the immortal beings that bring rain and act as messengers between humans and the spirits. Sakwa Hu is a guard, often seen carrying whips. The Hopi tribe live in North East Arizona and have been making these katsina figures since the 19th century. Picture by Manuel Cohen
