Masau Kachina, also known as Earth God, controls the Earth and the Underworld. He is also known as the god of death. He controls the dead moving into the Underworld, and the Kachinas emergence into the world through the kivas. Masau only travels at night, by firelight. His face represents a skull and the spots on his head represent clouds.
This 15.5” Hopi Kachina was carved by Grover in 2003.
