The Walpi Katcina is next in simplicity to that of Cipaulovi. It has
instead of a meal picture, however, a reredos upon which are depicted
rain and rain cloud symbols, and the two supplementary uprights, with
pictures of Tunwup referred to in the Oraibi altar. There are zigzag
slats, symbols of lightning, and rounded sticks with emblematic corn
designs, neither of which, however, is as complicated as at Oraibi.
The Katcina tiponi is prominent, but there are no images on the
altar, no basket with seeds and feathered sticks, and no crook with
attached handle. While, therefore, the altar of the Walpi Niman
Katcina is more complicated than at Cipaulovi, it is not as rich in
accessories as that at Oraibi.[11]
