Rare 14" Hopi Koshari KachinaClown By R. FosterWatermelon Warrior
This a 14" Hopi Koshari Kachina with good detail and accent pieces. The Hopi Koshari Kachina was a character in Hopi culture that was one to show up in ceremonies to be the trouble maker in the room. I think it may be short a knife and there is an area in the left shoulder where there is a stress mark, not noticeable. Koshari, Koyala, Hano, or Tewa are the names of a clown
that is often seen on the Hopi Mesas. Clown Kachinas provide amusement during Kachina ceremonies. Often shown with watermelons, they behave in the usual manner of pueblo clowns, engaging in loud and boisterous conversation, immoderate actions, and gluttony.
They are often drummers for dances.Buy It Now $185.00 OBO
In the Hopi tradition, the Sacred Clown Kachina frequently disrupts and makes a holy mess out of some of the most vital and fundamental rituals. The clown satirizes Hopi life by acting out and exaggerating improper behavior. Many times the actions of the clowns are meant to portray a lesson on behavior apparent in a tribal member. Their purpose is to show how overdoing anything is bad not only for the individual
but for the people as a whole as well.
