Comanche Kachina

Known as Komantci or Turtumsi, this kachina is originally not of the Hopi, but was converted to a Hopi Kachina. It represents a neighboring tribe of the Hopi', which is the Comanche Tribe. These Kachinas are usually seen as social dance figures when they participate in dances. This doll wears a goggle-eye mask, a row of feathers, a beard, body paint and carries a rattle, bow, and arrow. By the Annual report of the Bureau of American Ethnology, 1895.
