Please help me identify a kachina doll (or two)

Hi, do you know who this is?

And/or, do you know who this is?

Anything you could tell me about their functions will also be very helpful. I have been searching on google, but it seems that most sites with names don’t have pictures, and vice versa.

Thanks!

I have no idea about the first one.
The second one is a Wakasi, or Cow Kachina. It’s for stock increase, looks like.

Although, if I were to guess, I’d say the first was some variant of PalhikMana or another Butterfly Maiden - not a proper kachina/katsina, but related.

Or possibly Sa’lakwmana

Wow!! Thanks everyone, that’s just what I needed to know. :slight_smile:

There’s no “everyone”, just me.

HAH! Everyone is funny!:smiley:
