108 . HOPI KATCINAS [eth. axn, 21 



The costuming of Citulilii is similar to that of the Hopi Snake 

 priests, although the bodj', save the forearms and k^gs, is not painted 

 red, but black. He wears an armlet to which are fastened strips of 

 buckskin, dyed red. The l)andoleer is also stained red. The kilt, 

 like that of Snake priests, is painted red, and upon it is drawn a 

 zigzag design representing the Great Plumed Snake, with alternating 

 white bai"s and angular designs. The green bands above and below 

 represent rainbows. The sash is of buckskin, .stained red. The heel 

 bands have the same color and are made of horsehair. Citulilii 

 carries a yucca whip in each hand. 



There is said to be also a red, white, and green Citulilii katcina.

(Plate XLVI) 



The picture of this katcina was identilied by most of the Hopis as 

 that of a Sio or Zufii katcina. The symbolism of the mask is similar 

 to that of Tacab katcina, with which it is sometimes confounded. 



(Plate XLVI) 



The picture of Pakwabi represents a warrior. He wears a war 

 bonnet made of buckskin, with perforations and an apex tipped with 

 a feather. Four archaic ruin-cloud symbols are painted around the 

 lower rim. 



The face is black, the eyes are white, the snout is long and project- 

 ing, the hair is done up in a queue down the back. The blue covering 

 of the bod}' is of calico, over which is thrown a buckskin. A bandoleer 

 is worn over the left shoulder and the kilt has Navaho silver disks. 



The pantaloons and leggings are likewise Navaho, the former 

 vehet, with rows of silver buttons. In his right hand Pakwabi 

 carries a whizzer, ornamented with a zigzag lightning symbol, and in 

 his left are a bow and arrows. 



The name is evidently from some place or pueblo from which the 

 personage was derived. If so. the name of that pueblo may have been 

 derived from pakwa (frog), obi (place). 



KWACUS ALEK TAKA AND ALO MANA 



(Plate XLVII) 



The picture of Kwacus Alek taka has a green mask with red back 

 and two eagle tail feathers resembling horns, one on each side. 



Alo mana, the sister of Alek taka, has a white maskette with 

 artificial wig and feathers dependent from the lower rim. She is 

 represented in the characteristic attitude assumed in her dance.
