Jimmie Koots Katsina Doll 25872There 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.
