Heheya Kachina

Hopi Heheya Kachina doll carved from cottonwood root by Jonathan Gaseoma. The Heheya Kachina represents a spirit messenger or intermediary in Hopi culture. The English translation for Heheya doesn't have a direct one-word equivalent, but it's often described as a "messenger," "carrier of prayers," or "intercessor." 

Old-style Kachinas are traditionally made for hanging, and this figure includes a loop on the back for wall display.
