		During the dances and ceremonies, katsina dolls, or tithu (singular: tihu), are given by the katsinam to infants of both sexes, young girls, and women.

		Katsina dolls are most easily identified by their colors, the types and arrangements of feathers they wear, and the tools, weapons, and other accessories they hold or carry on their backs, all of which are symbols laden with religious meaning.

	THE COLLECTOR’S GUIDE: Hopi Katsina Figures
		Venerated and loved, the Katsina dancers were no less respected than the spirits they represented, and villages eagerly awaited their visitations beginning with the Bean Dance or Powamuya in February and continuing through the Niman or Home Dance (return to the sacred Peaks) in July.
		Katsina carvings were so well received that artists began changing their works to meet the growing demand of the non-Hopi market, producing increasingly intricate tihu-tui (plural of tihu).
		Soon katsina dancers were captured in motion by carvers, rendered sculpturally with sophisticated tools such as dremels and grinders and painted with acrylics to preserve their colors indefinitely.
