Examples of his work include various katsinas like Owl, Chili Pepper (Tsil), Yellow Ahote, Kokopel'mana (a female racer), and others, frequently appearing in vintage sales and collections from the 1980s–1990s era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis female figure is a distinctive and relatively rare depiction among Hopi katsina dolls, often characterized by unique features like a Navajo-inspired snout and hairdress that set it apart from similar maiden katsinas (such as Hano Mana).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKau-A-Mana often accompanies or relates to the Navajo Kachina (Kau'a or similar) in dances or stories, sometimes depicted kneeling or in ceremonial poses. Other carvers like Sam Tewa and Wilmer Kaye have also created versions of this katsina, but Earl Arthur's pieces are collectible for their craftsmanship.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antique American Indian Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45877518270629,"sku":"210728-067","price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/6071\/5685\/files\/s725348264778838518_p8183_i1_w547.jpg?v=1757346347","url":"https:\/\/antiqueamericanindianart.com\/products\/210728-67-hopi-kachina-katsina-doll-9-kau-a-mana-by-earl-arthur","provider":"Antique American Indian Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
