The Hopi Pueblo Miniature Sun Kachina Doll (also known as Tawa or Sunface Katsina) is a small, hand-carved representation of the Sun spirit in Hopi tradition.

In Hopi culture, kachinas (or katsinam) are spirit beings that embody natural forces, ancestors, animals, plants, and concepts. They bring rain, fertility, and harmony to the people. The Sun Kachina (Tawa) specifically represents the sun's life-giving power—providing warmth, light, growth for crops, shelter for the elderly, and a bright future. It is often depicted as a leader in ceremonies, symbolizing vitality and playfulness.
