This was a difficult katsina on which to find published data because I did not recognize it. I had to consult with my trusted katsina expert to figure out which katsina this doll represented. He immediately identified it asSootukwung'taqa and said that it was missing the crown, a protrusion pointing up from the top of the head. He is also missing the lightning bolt and bull roarer he uses to make thundering sounds.
