<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Crusader06, post: 12865597, member: 110677&quot;]My wife inherited two wooden figures from her grandmother, who worked as a nurse on reservations in the Southwest during the late 1970s and collected Native artwork during that period and afterward. Both figures are identified on their bases as “Colored Heheya” and appear to be signed by an artist named Delbert Charley (?).</p><p><br /></p><p>I have seen the phrase Colored Heheya associated with Hopi katsina tradition, but I do not want to assume that either the figures or the artist are Hopi. We would appreciate any help determining whether the figures appear connected with Hopi tradition, whether “Colored Heheya” is an appropriate identification, and whether Delbert Charley is a known artist from that period.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
