190524-67 Miniature Hopi Germ God Kachina / Katsina by LM
2 1/4"H
Late 20th century
"This is the brother of the Two Horn Society's deity, Alosaka. He is gentle, kind, and aloof and he resides in the underworld rather than in the San Francisco Mountains near Flagstaff, Arizona.
"This kachina has never been seen by the artist [of this book]. His most probable appearance was in a long line of Kachinas; however, he may also have appeared in a mixed Kachina dance, dancing individually. The sack that he carries contains seeds, which would relate to his function as the germination Kachina. He was probably seen at only Second and Third mesas."
- Ricks, J. Brent, et al., Kachinas: Spirit Beings of the Hopi (44)
Due to the fragile nature of kachina dolls, we do not guarantee they will not break during shipping. We do our best to pack them well, but due to their fragile nature and even with the best packing, small pieces can break. If you are purchasing kachina dolls, please keep this in mind.
