Mavasta Honyouti – Kwivi Pokangwhoya or Proud Twin Warrior God
$1,650.00
Mavasta Honyouti is one of the most talented artists working today. He creates exquisite innovative katsina sculptures, fanciful painted skateboard decks, bas relief paintings on wood, and much more. This carving is done in the fine art ultra-realistic style. It portrays the Proud version of a Twin Warrior God. The carving is quite large at 11 1/2″ tall and 2 3/4″ wide. It is signed on the base with his usual signature: “Mhonyouti.com.” Mavasta shared with me that he recently saw this Katsina during Powamuya or the Bean Dance. Mavasta is featured in my book, “The Great Tradition of Hopi Katsina Carvers, 1890 – Present.” He recently had a long-running exhibit at the Wheelwright Museum in Santa Fe.
