88 HOPl KATCINAS [eth, ann. 21 



figurinos representing the Coi'u maidens, which were made by a man 

 named Totci, who now lives at Zuni. These figurines and a framework 

 or upright with which they are used are shown in this picture, which 

 represents the figures kneeling before a miniature grinding stone 

 placed on the floor. 



As the sj'mbolism has been explained in a description of Calako 

 mana. it need not be redescribed, but it may be well to note that 

 the dotted bodies appearing on these figurines below the kilt rep- 

 resent the feathered garment which this maid and some other mythical 

 personages are said to wear." 



The designs on the framework symbolize rain clouds and falling 

 rain. During the mysterj- play the two bird effigies are made to move 

 back and forth on the framework by a man concealed behind the screen, 

 who also imitates bird cries. 



The two figurines are manipulated by means of strings and other 

 mechanical appliances. Their arms are jointed, and as a song is sung 

 the niai-ionettes are made to imitate meal grinding, raising their hands 

 at intervals from the meal stones to their faces. 



TACAB ANTA AND MANA 

 (Plate XXVII) 



This picture represents a being called Navaho Anya katcina, and his. 

 sister, who grinds corn ceremonially in the kivas on the final night of 

 the Ankwanti. The attitude of the girl is that assumed by her after 

 the corn has been ground, when she and her sister dance and posture 

 their bodies befoi'e a line of Anya katcina pei'sonators serving as a 

 chorus. 



The masks of the Navaho Anyas are similar to those of the Hopi, 

 except that the fonner have terraced figures or rain-cloud symbols in 

 each lower corner, and a red instead of a black beard. The male wears 

 a red kilt, tied by a belt of silver disks, which are common Navaho 

 ornaments. 



The dress of the girl consists of a black velvet shirt and a red calico 

 skirt, with a piece of calico over her shoulders. She wears a Navaho 

 necklace. 



Her coifl'ure is a cue tied behind the head, like that of the Navahos. 

 The projecting lip, illustrating a habit of gesticulating with the lower 

 jaw so common among Navahos, is common in Hopi pictures of these 

 •Indians. 



OWANOZROZRO 

 (Plate XXVIII) 



This being appears in the Ankwanti, going from kiva to kiva 

 beating on the hatchways and calling down to the inmates. The 



a Fabrics obtained in cliff houses and other old Arizona ruins show that it is probable that cloth m 

 ■which feathers were woven was worn by the ancient ancestors ol the Hopis.
