Description: Hopi Walpi Pueblo Katchina Worship Objects First Mesa Indian Arizona 1883 Print 132 year old original print from Second Annual Report of the Bureau of Ethnology to the Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, 1880-81. by J. W. Powell, Director. Washington Government Printing Office 1883These objects vary in form, size, and decoration, the largest being about thirty inches high, the smallest not more than five. They are objects of worship in one form or another. The illustrations in the woodcuts and colored plates will convey a better idea of them than could be given in a description. They are entirely composed of wood, with feathers and other small ornaments attached to them occasionally. (41953). This is a specimen of one of these images exhibited in Fig. 567. The form is common to many of them, showing the pyramidal projections attached to the head, with feathered tips. (41956). Fig. 569. This exhibits a female figure with variegated colors, and in addition to the pyramidal projections from the head has two round sticks with a ball and crown. . (41959). Fig. 566. The general characteristics of this specimen are the same as those already referred to, but it differs in the arrangement of the head attachments ; two rows of pyramids are shown ; the lower one is inverted ; the two rows are separated by three arches ; the ujiper pyramids are ornamented at the tips with feathers. A necklace of acorn hulls is around the neck, with a shell ornament attached to it. Garters are represented at the knees. In this specimen, as in many others, the feet are onlyrepresented by stubs. The body is decorated to represent fanci- fully colored clothing.Size of sheet: 11.5” X 7.5". Condition: Clean sheet. See photos. Payment Terms: I accept credit card via PayPal.
