Abstract	This essay is a short history of imitation "tithu," dolls representing "katsinam," the Hopi supernaturals. It is a study of "authenticity" in the marketplace and its perceived relation to "magic," "spirituality," and "antiquity," as the article follows early changes at Hopi through the contemporary fabrications perpetuated through eBay. As it takes up issues of the complexities of fake, reproduced, restored, misattributed, recarved, authentic, traditional, and imitation Hopi tithu, the essay could be seen as a poster scenario for "commodity fetishism" as designated in 1867 by Karl Marx, who defined a fetish as a human-made object that is believed to hold power. (Contains 4 figures and 84 notes.) (ERIC).
