100 HOi'I KATCINAS 



(Plate XXXVIII) 



The drawing of Kerne katcina has slanting bands of yellow, green, 

 and red across the middle of the face, which is painted green, with 

 terraced figures in red and yellow in two diagonal corners. The top 

 of the head, as represented, is flat, and to it are appended bunches of 

 parrot and turkey feathers, two of which project on each side. 



The dress and other paraphernalia of Kerne katcina are in no 

 respect distinctive. 



(Plate XXXVIII) 



Siwap katcina has a black helmet with a prominent globular snout, 

 green eyes, and a triangular, green-colored figure on the forehead. 

 The necklace is made of corn husks, a few of which are also tucked into 

 the belt. The kilt is black, and there is an antelope horn in each hand. 



(Plate XXXVIII) 



The symbolic markings of this being are clearly brought out by the 

 Hopi artist in his picture. 



The face is painted green, crossed by a })lack band with red border. 

 On the top of the head are radiating feathers and parrot plumes. 

 Pine boughs are inserted in the armlets and l)elt, and there are branches 

 of the same tree about the neck. The kilt is white, without decolla- 

 tion, and the sashes are embroidered. 



From the linguistic similarity of the name Hotcani to Hotciiuni of 

 the Sia, mentioned by Mrs Stevenson, they are regarded as identical. 

 The Hopi variant is probably derived from the Keresaii. 



(Plate XXXVIII) 



The Sun katcina has a disk-shaped mask, which is divided by a 

 horizontal black band into two regions, the upper being subdivided 

 into two smaller portions by a median vertical line. The left lateral 

 upper division is red, the right j'ellow, the former being surrounded 

 by a 3^ellow and black border, the latter by a red and black. In the 

 lower half of the face, which is green, appear lines i-epresenting eyes, 

 and a double triangle of hourglass shape representing the mouth. 



Around the border of the mask is represented a plaited corn husk, 

 in which radiating eagle feathers are inserted. A string with attached 

 red horsehair is tied around the rim or margin of the disk.
