Description

Pair of Koshare "Clown Buddy" Kachina Dolls

This pair of Koshare "Clown Buddy" Kachina dolls beautifully represents the playful yet sacred clown characters of Hopi and Pueblo traditions. These handcrafted dolls feature intricate details, including painted watermelon slices and vibrant clothing that bring their humorous and lively spirit to life. The Koshare clowns are traditionally known for their dual role as entertainers and moral guides in ceremonies, making these figures culturally significant. Each doll is crafted with materials such as leather, fur, and wood, and they are mounted on signed wood bases with "Clown Buddy" inscriptions.

Condition:
Both dolls are in good condition with no visible damage.

  • Kachina signed "Benally": 6 1/2" H x 3 1/4" W x 2 1/4" D
  • Kachina with indiscernible signature: 6" H x 2 1/2" W x 2 1/2" D
