Description
Légende de la planche : "Plate VI. Angwusnasomtaqa ("The one with crow tied on") is commonly referred to as the crow mother Kachina. She appears both in the children's initiation into the Kachina cult and in the morning ceremony on the last day of Powamu. When she comes in early morning, she is known as Angwushahai and at that time neither eyes nor mouth are indicated upon the face of the mask. The most striking feature is the crow wing tied to each side of the mask. On top are the soft white eagle feathers known as breath feathers to the Hopi. The collar is of spruce. She, like other female Kachinas, wears the belt tied at the left side. The large white wedding belt which is presented by every groom to his bride with her wedding costume. The robe is a bride's blanket, the borders embroidered in wool with familiar rain symbols. She wears a Hopi loomed dress and white bucksin moccasins. Her hands are painted white and she is carrying a plaque with corn and bean plants that have been grown in the kiva". [Impression de la planche légèrement floue.]
