This Zuni katsina figure represents Hilili, a kachina associated with fertility and agriculture in Zuni Pueblo religious practices. Carved from wood and traditionally painted with natural pigments, the figure displays the characteristic cylindrical body, elaborate headdress, and symbolic markings typical of Zuni kachina representations. Such figures serve as educational and spiritual objects within Zuni culture, used in ceremonies and teaching younger community members about their pueblo's religious traditions.
