Roy Tawahongva Katsina Katchina Doll C3627EThere is very little information published on the artist Roy Tawahongva.  From his brother's (Mark Tawahongva) biographical information, who is listed as being born in 1948 at the Hopi village of Hotevilla, one can assume that Roy is 65 or more years old and was from the village of Hotevilla, as well. Roy is listed as being a katsina doll carver and a jeweler.
