Hop Famous Artist Philman Harvey is from First Mesa(old Hopi Village)Northeastern Arizona. Angwushahai-i, or Crow Bride, is a Third Mesa Kachina, with the "bride" probably coming because she talks or sings, and comes dressed entirely in white. On the other Mesas, she is Angwusnasomtaka, or Crow Mother, the mother of the Hu, or Whipper Kachinas, and is considered by many Hopi to also be the mother of all kachinas. She appears during the Powamu or Bean Dance on all three Mesas. During the Powamu, she supervises the initiation of the children into the Kachina Cult and carries the yucca whips with which they are struck by the Hu Kachinas. Later in the same ceremony, she leads other kachinas into the village bearing in her arms a basket of corn kernels and bean sprouts to symbolically start the new growing season properly. This Crow Mother Sculpture has three lady bug and a pond on the stand. This Full Figure Crow Mother Kachina is is 7.5 in. x 1.25 in. wide, the stand 7.5 in. x 1.5 in. wide.
