 (Plate XIV) 



So wiiqti, Grandmother Avoman, is here represented by the Hopi 

 artist as clasping hands with her child, a Powamu katcina. On each 

 cheek there is a red spot, and in her hair is an artificial ilower. She 

 carries on her back Hehea, her grandchild, as the zigzag marks on 

 his face clearly indicate, and has a pine bough in her hand. The 

 fact that her grandchild has Hehea symbols would seem to refer her 

 to the group to which the latter and his sister belong. 



(Plate XIV) 



The picture of Masauu has a round helmet decorated with spots of 

 difl'erent colors. At the top of this helmet there are many twigs, to

 the body. The legs and arms are painted red and spotted black. The 

 two rings on the breast are parts of a neclvlace made of human bones. 

 The tigure carries a yucca whip in each hand.
