Hopi Tasap Mana Kachina
Tasap Mana, or Navajo Maiden Kachina, often appears in ceremonial dance with her partner, Tasap Kachina (Navajo Man). The pair are caricatured by the Hopi, but are popular figures in the dances. Tasap Mana here wears the traditional costume of Navajo women: a colorful broomstick skirt and velvet shirt with a turquoise tab necklace, her hair is wrapped in a bun and topped with feathers. Made of cottonwood, paint, feathers and string, circa 1940s, 5 ¼ inches tall
