which are colored black. The red lines interspersed with these feather represent horsehair stained red.
The reddish-brown body about the neck represents a fox skin, the legs and bushy tail of which are indicated.
The picture shows a ceremonial blanket or kilt, colored green, with embroidered edge, around the body, and a similar kilt on the loins. The ceremonial dance sash is represented on one side, hanging down to the right knee.
The network leg-covering represents the garment worn by the sun god, and the row of globular bodies down each leg are shell tinklers. The moccasins are painted green and the anklets are ornamented with terrace designs in red, representing rain clouds.
In the left hand there are a small meal pouch made of a fox skin with dependent tail, a bundle of bean sprouts painted green, and a slat of wood, dentate at each end, representing a chief's badge. In the right hand is a staff, on the top of which are drawn two eagle feathers and a few red horsehairs. Midway in its length is tied an ear of corn, a crook, and attached breast feathers of the eagle.
Hahai Wüqti
(Plate VII)
The picture of Hahai Wüqti, like that of Kokyan (spider) wüqti (woman), has eyes of crescentic form. The hair is done up in two elongated bodies which hang by the sides of her head, and she has a bang of red horsehair on the forehead. She wears a red fox skin around her neck, and to her waist are tied two sashes, the extremities of which, highly embroidered, are shown in the picture. In her right hand she carries a gourd.[1]
Hahai wüqti appears in the kiva exhibition of Palülükoñti, or Añkwañti, when she offers sacred meal to the Snake effigies for food and presents her breasts to them to suckle. The best representation of Hahai wüqti is at Powamû, when she accompanies her children, the monsters called Natackas. In both festivals she wears the paraphernalia shown in the figure.[2]
Tumas
(Plate VII)
Tumas is the mother of Tuñwup, who flogs the chilgren in the Powamû festival. Her mask, as shown in the drawing,[3] has fan-like
- ↑ The mask of the Soyal katcina, Ahülani, has similar marks in alternate celebrations of the Soyaluña. Pictures of the sun have been drawn for the author with similar crescentic eyes, from which it is inferred that Ahülani is a sun god who appears as a bird (eagle) man in Soyaluña and that Hahai wüqti and Kokyan wuqti are different names of the same supernatural.
