1920s Hopi Hehey’a

This is a very ancient-looking Hopi Hehey’a from the 1920s. It may be even earlier as it has the asymmetrical feet found on katsinam from 1880-1910. I had the tube mouth professionally restored. This could be done without speculation as there was clear circle on the face indicating the dimensions of the original mouth. The carving is 8 1/4” tall including the professional base. This is one of those carvings with an eerie power.
