This katsina doll is carved by Quinston Taylor from Kykotsovi.

He is 6 inches tall and 7 inches tall overall.

This katsina is not signed by Quinston, but I purchased him from Quinston directly.

Hiilili is a whipper katsina, guard or security figure whose family appears during the Powamuya, Angk’wa and the summer day katsina dances. Dressed in the Snake Dancer‘s costume, he is a very spirited dancer. The Koyemsimu sing to them when they perform in group dances during Angk'wa.

Hiilili vary a great deal and are very collectable for this reason.
