by Ronald Honyouti, Hopi
Description: Katsina carving with commercial paints.
About this Award: Awarded to acknowledge excellence in katsina doll carving.
Jurors’ Comments:
Ryan Huna Smith: I like it because it’s very small, but at the same time there’s a lot of exquisite detail that’s carved within the piece. There’s a nice gesture to the figure. Very nicely done.
Gerald Dawavendewa: The frog is a great piece. The folds in the cape and how it’s detailed and the cutting inside shows exceptional carving. It just captures the movement and the feeling of that particular katsina.
White Swann: It’s very well carved and has a lot of meaning.
