The Gaseoma family from Moenkopi (Third Mesa) is renowned for fine Kachina carvings, often in one-piece styles with intricate details.

The Snake Dancer is a rare and sacred figure, often not classified as a true katsina but as a human participant in the biennial Hopi Snake Dance ceremony—a dramatic ritual dating back over 2,000 years.

Hopi Kachina dolls are hand-carved figures traditionally made from a single piece of cottonwood root, painted with natural pigments, and adorned with feathers, leather, and beads.
