SOYOHIM KATCINAS 105 



(Plate XLIII) 



The pictures of this katcina have a circle of various colors on the 

 forehead and red club-shaped bodies on the cheeks. The figures wear 

 embroidered sashes on their shoulders — an unusual position for these 

 objects — and tight-fitting black kilts, tied above with green belts. 

 Evidentl}' the distinguishing symbols of Piokot are the diagonal club- 

 shaped marks on the cheeks, for two other pictures of Piokot, b}- a 

 different artist, have neith( c the variegated circle on the forehead nor 

 the embroidered scarf about the neck. 



TURKWINU 



(Plate XLIII) 



This figure has an undecorated mask with a row of parallel marks, 

 symbolic of falling rain, on the upper edge, where there are likewise 

 three semicircular tigures representing rain clouds. A row of turkej' 

 feathers is drawn before the face. The hair and beard are represented 

 by pine boughs. It carries a ceremonial water gourd in each hand 

 and wears a simple white kilt with green border, decorated with red- 

 colored rain-cloud symbols. 



The name (tiirkwi) indicates that this katcina was derived from 

 some mountain pueblo. The Tewas give the same name (Pompin) to 

 it that they give to the San Francisco mountains. One of the best 

 traditionists has said that this katcina was derived from people who 

 once lived in the foothills of these mountains. 



TL'RKWIN'f MANA 

 (Plate XLIII) 



The maid or sister of Tiirkwinu has a headdress in the form of 

 a tei'i'aced tablet, upon which semicircular rain-cloud symbols are 

 painted. She likewise has pine boughs representing hair. 



Her face is divided by a median band, with parallel horizontal black 

 lines, into two parts, the left side being painted brown and the right 

 painted white. There are semicircular lines about the mouth. She 

 wears a white lilanket bound by a great cotton belt, has turkey feathers 

 tied to the blanket, and cari'ies a cake in her hand. 



Tono 



(Plate LXIII) 



Toho, the Puma, wears a mask of green color, with a projecting 

 snout armed with teeth. Eagle feathers are attached to a string
