Kwasaytaqa or One with a Dress – 1940s

Dignified version of the Kwasaytaqa katsina or “One with a Dress.” Beautifully carved and precisely painted with attractive colors. Note the flowers painted on the base of the dress – a nice touch. Good sized at 13″ tall. As shown in photo 4, it has one of “From the Hopi Villages” tag which is a desirable sign of antiquity. The katsina is firmly attached to its wooden base. From the collection of a California physician.
