Hopi Old Katsina Doll with Loss of Most Paint [SOLD]

This katsina doll from Hopi Pueblo appears to be very old—perhaps late 1800s or early 1900s.  There are remnants of paint in the recessed areas of the carving and a little remaining on the face.  It is strange that so much of the paint is missing, as that is not the normal wear pattern, however, what paint remains does appear to be authentic. 

Condition:  Both feet have been broken off and the previous owner had the doll mounted on a newly-made pedestal that is not original to the doll.  Both hands are missing.
