Ho-ote

H with 3/4" base
"Ho-te is an extremely
popular kachina because of his well-liked songs. He appears as
a group in the ordinary kachina dances and sometimes in the Niman
[Home Dance]. The symbols between his eyes and on his forehead
are said to be those of flowers, and therefore his dance forecasts
the flowers of spring.
"This kachina may appear
with a buckskin kilt and silver belt coupled with the presence
of the yellow triangle on the face. When the kachina wears the
embroidered robe he should have a blue triangle between his eyes."
- Barton Wright, Hopi Kachinas: a
Hopi Artist's Documentary (169)
