Kachina Katsina doll - C3753.43"Ahöl Mana occurs only on Second Mesa at the time of the Soyal.  She is a standard Kachina Mana except that she comes with Ahöla which by context makes her Ahöl Mana.  She accompanies Ahöla on his rounds to the various kivas and ceremonial houses.  In her hands she holds a tray with various kinds of seeds from the fields of the Kachina Chief." Wright 1973
