Hopi 'Clown' Kachina by V. Wood — 1992
Hand-carved and painted by V. Wood in 1992, this Hopi Clown (Koshare) Kachina figure showcases traditional design with bold black and rust-red body stripes, a wide smile, and dynamic pose. The figure holds a slingshot in one hand and a mouse effigy in the other, with accents including real leather elements and a fiber headdress.
Crafted from wood and mounted on a natural base, it’s signed clearly on the underside: “Hopi Clown, V. Wood, '92.” This playful figure reflects the cultural significance of the Koshare, known for their comic performances and social commentary during Hopi ceremonies. A spirited and expressive piece, ideal for collectors of Native American art or Kachina dolls.
