The altar described in a former publication[18] is the most elaborate of all the Winter Solstice fetishes at Walpi, and belongs to the _Patki_ and related clans.
The _Asa_ family in the _Wikwaliobikiva_ had no altar, but the following fetishes: (1) An ancient mask resembling that of _Natacka_ and called _tcakwaina_,[19] attached to which is a wooden crook and a rattle; (2) an ancient bandoleer (_tozriki_); and (3) several stone images of animals. The shield which the _Asa_ carried before the _Moñkiva_ altar had a star painted upon it.
The _Kokop_ and _Tcüa_ families, in the _Nacabkiva_, had no altar, but on the floor of the kiva there was a stone image which was said to have come from the ancient pueblo of Sikyatki, a former village of the _Kokop_ people.
