DescriptionThree Hopi Shalako figures are printed on tan paper. The smallest of the Shalako’s is brown with a yellow scarf tied around its neck and sits on green steps. Two other larger Shalakos stand on the top green step with a black archway behind them. The center figure is mostly white with green, black, yellow, and red detailing. It wears a large headdress/mask with three triangular shapes extending from the head with step-like edges. The right most figure is mostly black with red, yellow and green circles. It also wears a mask with a fabric looking headdress atop the mask.On View
