Beautiful work!
"Palhik Mana" is a Butterfly Maiden, not an actual Kachina, but a woman dancer. She arrives in August, as that is when the butterflies appear. The Butterfly Dance, a traditional social dance of the Hopi, and is held in August after the harvest. It is a thanksgiving dance for the harvest, chiefly for the corn crop and is performed by young dancing Hopi Maidens. The carvings are beautiful tributes to the women in their culture!
