Crow Mother Katsina; Silent Warrior Katsina

Two wooden Katsina, one of which is standing on the other's shoulders. The bottom figure has a face painted blue with a triangular area over the eyes painted black. A pointed, black headdress is attached to either side of the head imitating feathers. A painted robe is worn over the body with a dress underneath. The top figure had a blue face with rectangular eyes and an inverted triangle mouth. The body is painted blue and white and a painted kilt is wrapped around the waist. A headdress is attached to the top figure with cloud and rainbow symbols painted in blue, yellow and red. The lower figure is the Crow Mother (Angwusnasomtaka) and the top figure is likely the Silent Warrior (Nakiachop) Katsina. (Colton, H. 1959 #12 & 46, Wright, B., 1973 #66 & 52)
