Navajo Katsina

Wooden Katsina doll. The face is bisected vertically by a black line into white and red halves. A pair of zigzag lines are painted in red on the white half. The mouth is a protruding snout. A strip of red cloth with metal discs is attached to the forehead. Black hair is painted on and extends down to the waist. The body is painted white with a cloth, horizontally banded kilt around the waist. A belt made of red cloth and large metal discs is tied around the waist. One hand is painted red. Black and red moccasins are painted onto the feet. This figure is likely a Tasap Katsina, a representation of a Navajo person.
