Native American Hopi Carved Clown (Koshare) Katsina Doll with Cake by Andrew Grover
The Clown (Koshare) Summer Clown is known by many other names, including Kaisale (Winter Clown), Tsuku (Second and Third Mesa), Koyaala, and Hano (First Mesa). The Clown has a complex ceremonial role, giving wisdom and advice as well as poking fun at unacceptable behavior. The Clown is said to be a glutton, always overdoing it whether he is making fun of the dancers, trying to get the children to behave during ceremonies, or commenting on Hopi behavior. They are generally amusing and do things that no Hopi or anyone else would want to be caught doing. They are often depicted with a watermelon, though this Koshare comes complete with a decorated cake. Click on numbered boxes below image for additional views.
