White Bear Fredericks Mana or Maiden Katsina
$1,500.00
I recently acquired this White Bear Fredericks Mana or Maiden katsina from the Heard Museum. He signed it with his usual symbols and dated it 1971 on the bottom of the right foot. The katsina is quite large at 12 ¾” tall with the feather adding another 1 ½”. There is some blurring of the paint on the face, but otherwise looks good. I like the dance wand in the hand with the Hopi cloud design. White Bear was said to be the principal informant for Frank Waters’ “Book of the Hopi.” He is featured in our book on “The Great Tradition of Hopi Katsina Carvers,” (2019).
