There are collectors of Southwest Indian items who concentrate on items of the smallest scale. Some do so because they set up displays of miniature items in crate-like boxes. Others collect miniatures for display in dollhouses, where every item has to be in proper scale.
Whether that is the reason Jimmy Koots made such a small Owl Katsina doll is not known, but presented here is the smallest Koots katsina doll of which I am aware. It is barely 2 inches tall.
