Archeological Expedition to Arizona in 1895

Note 80 — RUINS IN TUSAYAN (continued 2)

Reading edition

There is a rude sketch of these two idols of Alosaka in the archives of the Hemenway Expedition. They represent figurines about 4 feet tall, with two horns on the head not unlike those of the Tewan clowns or gluttons called Paiakyamû. As so little is known of the Mishoñinovi ritual, the rites in which they are used are at present inexplicable.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
