Kachina doll representing Hakto
Also known as Kachina Head Wood Carrier
Hopi Indians, Arizona
Circa 1920
Cottonwood, pigments and wool
H. 20; L 6.5 cm
A monoxyle wooden doll whose colors emphasize her androgynous character: her helmet mask is covered in intense blue pigments, symbolizing virility, while her bust is covered in red and yellow, representing the feminine universe.
Her collar is embellished with a two-tone strawberry, and her mask is topped with a wooden bundle, manifested by a horizontal stick held in place with cotton thread and adorned with drooping strands of wool.
Considered a lieutenant, Hakto dances especially during the Powamu festival.
Kachina dolls were given to children at the end of ceremonial dances. They would take them home and hang them on the wall, enabling them to learn about the pantheon of divinities.
