HOPI CLOWN KACHINA
HANO CLOWN BY HERB TALAHAFTEWA - Koshare katsina hand carved from cottonwood root by renowned Hopi carver Herb Talahaftewa. Herb has been carving for over 40 years and is known for his detailed, one-piece carvings. This koshare stands 12 1/2" tall from the base and is about 4" wide. certificate of authenticity included.
Koshari – Also called Hano or Tewa Clown – considered fathers of the katsinas. They behave in the usual manner of pueblo clowns, engaging in loud and boisterous conversation, immoderate actions, and gluttony. Kosharis or variants of them may be found in most of the pueblos. Although their primary function is one of amusement for the audience during pauses in kachina dancing or as a leavening for the seriousness of a major ceremony, clowns are considered both sacred and profane. Often times there is an object lesson on improper behavior in the skits and actions of the clowns. Kosharis will often be carved with watermelon as an offering to people in the audience.
