A Hopi Route 66 Snow katsina. This type of katsina was made to sell to tourists. These pieces were sold along Route 66. The Snow katsina prays for the snow in the upcoming year. That way there is moisture in the ground for crops to grow. This is a simple design. It measures 3 1/4 inches in height. The maker is unknown.
We have been visiting and shopping at Toh-Atin for over twenty years. Always loved visiting with Jackson and his mother. We would spend hours gathering information on rugs, jewelry, and baskets- what a tremendous inventory. Everyone was so knowledgeable. We have so many memorable pieces. Jackson asked my husband, " How often do you get compliments on your tie?" We bought a very nice bolo! :)
We had just seen and visited with Jackson two weeks earlier and were so saddened and shocked to hear of his passing. What a loss to friends, family, and community. Our deepest condolences to his family and to the staff.
