Katsinas (or Kachinas) are supernatural beings in the Pueblo Indian traditions. The Pueblo tribes create Katsina dolls to give to children. Children use them to learn about the various Katsinas and not to play with. This Katsina stands about 7″ high on its base. This figure came from a collection. It is in very good condition and ready to add to your collection. One of a Kind!
