    Description

    Hemis Katsina appears at the Home-Going (
    Niman
    ) ceremony in late July). He is originally from Jemez Pueblo, where he is an important figure in bringing rain prior to harvest. He is the Katsina who brings the grown corn to the people, ensuring a good harvest. This Hemis Kachina doll was carved by the well-known Hopi artist Ed Honyestewa in the early 1989. It is a substantial example of Katsina from this period. His tablita is crowned with feathers, one of which is missing. He carries a rattle in one hand and spruce fronds in the other hand, which is missing. A fabulous, nicely carved, older "Going Home" Kachina doll.
