Wooden kachina doll was identified as Chilchi by Stewart Culin however this kachina's mask and dress does not correspond to the kachina with the closest name, Chilili-and Chilili never carries or plays a flute.

When four maidens take their places to dance they play this type of flute as the maidens' song begins. Ribbons represent flowers.

He has a bustle with ribbons on his back and carries a song flute and rattle.
