Kachina Doll (Awethlu-ye-ya)03.325.4610

The name of this kachina is by Stewart Culin and may not be correct. This kachina has a corrugated fabric snake wrapped around his neck from front to back.

He carries stick staffs in his hands, and wears leather fringed armbands around each arm and a fur cape. His chest and lower legs are painted red. His helmet style mask has a small, flat, painted head projecting like a horn on the proper right side. The ears of the mask are flat pieces with feathers sticking through as if earrings. There is a grid across the face of the mask with a zig zag line for a mouth. A black hair beard flows below the lower mask. Fur and feather remnants are across the top of the head.

Kachina Doll (Poos'hum)04.297.5604

This Kachina is probably Poos'hum, a seed bringing kachina. He appears in the villages around the time the fields need to be planted. He brings seeds of all kinds that have been blessed by the supernatural gods. The squares along his cheeks of his face indicate the corn seeds. Both ears appear to be reattached. Feathers on top of head in poor condition. This kachina doll is carved from one piece of wood. The body is painted red with one yellow stripe and one blue down each side of the chest. The arms have yellow sleeves. The face mask is painted with slit eyes and trisected by red on one side, blue in center, yellow on other side. It has tattered feather headdress. Originally Stewart Culin, collecting curator, thought this kachina was Ma'alo but it does not have the characteristic face or ears of that kachina.

Girl's Coiled Dowry or Puberty Basket (kol-chu or ti-ri-bu-ku)07.467.8308

This is a conical shaped basket with a stepped flag design in brown on natural fiber colored background. The shells and feathers are fastened to the exterior and extend out from basket. Although called a puberty basket it is thought that this basket was not necessarily used for puberty ceremonial. At the time it was collected it was thought that ceremony no longer was being practiced so such baskets were no longer being made for traditional practice. While it may have been intended for such, there is no physical evidence that it was ever used to hold water, and it is more likely that it was made for sale, an aestheticized version of a traditional form.
