According to Barton Wright, Heheya Aumutaka means "like Heheya" and this version of Heheya appears only on Third Mesa.  Other versions appear on First and Second Mesas.  He is a relative of the Ogres, although he himself is not an Ogre.  The interesting thing about this Katsina is that he speaks the opposite of what he means. If he says something is "good," he means it is "bad." Formerly he accompanied the Soyoko when they appeared on Third Mesa but since the Soyoko no longer come, his role is shifting to that of a general Powamu Katsina.

This carving is a very good example of this katsina. He wears a wool dress and a real concha belt which is barely visible because of the wool overlapping it.  He wears a single turquoise nugget necklace.

Condition: The carving is in excellent condition.  If there was something in either hand, it is missing. 

Provenance: To be provided to purchaser
