In this carving, the maker has added a basket on the back of the ogre and placed a miniature Koyemshi Katsina doll in the basket as if the ogre has captured one of the Koyemshi who accompanies him on his rounds.  The doll is typically Zuni in style, that is, it has been dressed in clothing.  The arms have been secured to the body and do not articulate.  The doll does stand unaccompanied but could be hung if desired.
