Description: Gentle rain singer. Hand carved with horse hair, parrot feathers and pheasant feather. About this Award: Awarded to the Katsina carving that best portrays adherence to traditional representation and use of materials.
Jurors' Comments:
Ramson: Chose this doll because it is the one that comes closest to what a Katsina doll would have been historically. The depiction of the Katsina itself is true to life.
Jennifer: Chose this work for its elegant treatment of form, attention to detail, good craftsmanship, and aesthetically well-balanced composition.
Shonto: (of the Runner Up, Owl Katsina carving) It pays homage to the wood it came from and did not try to detach itself from the wood. The simplicity of form and color worked together simply with no extraneous details.
