Mudhead Hopi katsina with child on its back!
These double mudheads are hard to find

When mudhead katsinas have a child on their backs, it signifies a parental role. They are used to teach children about famly and community values within Hopi culture.
Vintage possibly 1940s, according to original tag on leg:
"Mudhead Kachina with Child on Back signed Chapella
There are a number of Hopi carvers named Chapella
In researching this piece, but I have not found other mudheads by this family
This might be a rare piece!
The child has its hands up because he's falling backwards! Oh no!
