Book Hopi Katcinas Drawn By Native Artists By Fewkes

What makes this book especially great is that the katsinam were illustrated by Hopi artists themselves. Originally published in 1903, Jesse Walter Fewkes commissioned Hopi artists like White Bear and Homovi to create detailed drawings of the katsinam appearing in Hopi ceremonies. The book includes descriptions of Hopi symbolism and traditions, so along with the beautiful illustrations it gives a fascinating look into Hopi culture at the turn of the 20th century. It's a wonderful early reference for collectors of Hopi katsina carvings and anyone interested in Southwestern Native American art.
