Mountain Lion
9" H
with 2" base
"The Mt. Lion Kachina
appears at Pachavu times as does the Tokoch (Wildcat) Kachina.
When he carries yucca whips in his hand, he would be one of the
Angry or Watching Kachinas
"He may appear in the
Mixed Kachina Dance with either Deer or Antelope Kachinas whom
he leads for he is always in the front and is never caught. In
this role he is a side dancer for the Deer or Antelope and carries
a talavaiyi, a cane with eagle feathers and red horsehair fringe,
in his hands."
