Hemis is also called Niman Kachina after the Niman or Home Dance ceremony at which he presides. Only Hemis and their Hemis Mana Kachinas dance in this final ceremony before the Kachinas return to their spirit world. The Hemis and their Manas dance in a double ring rotating slowly in opposite directions. In the periphery children gather whole corn plants which the Kachinas brought, and distribute them and gaily colored presents to the sidelines. |

This pendant represents the mask of the Hemis Kachina. It is created in earthenware clay, hand painted and glazed and kiln fired to produce a strong and beautiful necklace. He is a bright and colorful bit of the Southwest and would be a handsome addition to your wardrobe. Or he could be an unusual gift for a friend. It measures approximately 1-1/2 inches by 2-3/4 inches overall. A black rolled leather necklace which is adjustable to your desired length is included. It comes packaged with a card describing the Hemis Kachina and a note about Kachinas, all in a plastic bag.
