Zuis'i Katcinas 



SIO 



(Plate XLV) 



The Zuni katcina " has designs on the face which recall the solar 

 symbols. The upper part is divided by a vertical line into two regions, 

 one red and the other green (l)lue in the pictui'e), the right-hand side 

 being bordered by yellow and green, the left-hand side by red and 

 spotted bands. The remaining or lower part of the face is colored 

 green; the left eye is painted yellow. There is a long, slim, yellow, 

 protuberant snout. A symbolic squash is appended to the right side 

 of the helmet, and two vertical eagle feathers are tied to the left side. 

 There are likewise indications of a fan-like crest of eagle feathers 

 on the top of the helmet and a cluster of highly colored feathers at 

 the point of attachment of the two vertical eagle feathers. 



SIO MANA AND THKEE KOYIMSI 



(Plate XLV) 



In this picture the Zuiii maid and three mudheads are represented 

 as they appear in an East mesa ceremony. 



The maid wears a maskette like that of Afiya mana, and holds aloft 

 in one hand a badge of office, which among the Zufiis is beautifully 

 formed of parrot feathers. In her other hand she carries a clay 

 basket or sacred meal receptacle. Her headdress is Zuni rather than 

 Hopi. 



The ligures of the Koyimsi are characteristic, each wearing a 

 helmet with cloth knobs full of seeds. Two of these beings, who 

 wear small fawn skin bandoleers, hold aloft rattles, and one has a 

 drum, which he is represented as beating with the characteristic Zuni 

 drumstick. 



CITTTLILU 

 (Plate XLVI) 



The significance of the Zuni name Citulili'i'' is shown at once by the 

 rattlesnake on the forehead. 



The two pictures of Citulilii ditl'er only in the color of the mask 

 and of the snake on it. One has a yellow, the other a Vilack face; 

 the snake on the former is green, that on the latter is })rown. 



The fan-shaped crest over the helmet is made of turkey tail feathers 

 and the red mass represents painted wool. The snout is long and 

 protuberant, with a red tongue made of leather.
