Miniature Mana by Dion Ovah

A cute little Mana or Maiden katsina by Dion Ovah, a carver I’ve not heard of before. The Mana is a mere 4″ tall, not including the base which adds 3/8″ inch. Her back is flat showing the grain of the cottonwood root. Her eyes are closed and she is wearing a big smile. The katsina is shown in photo 2 next to a 9″ Spike Satala Kooyemsi for the purposes of size comparison.
