Native American Katsina Doll - Hopi Sotung Taka (Laguna Corn Katsina) by Neil David, Sr. 12".

Hopi Sotung Taka (Laguna Corn Katsina) This Corn Katsina appeared quite recently, apparently within the last twenty years. There are two main varieties that appear with each other. One is clothed and acts as the side dancer for the other who appears barechested. Some Hopi say that he comes from Santo domingo and others say that he is from Laguna. He dances gracefully gesturing with the objects held in his hands. This form is sometimes called the Laguna Gambler.* The Artist: Neil David Sr.
