DECO169 Koshari Kachina clown pottery

Pièce unique - Pueblo Pottery

This pottery represents a Kachina clown. Also known as Koshari, this emblematic figure of Hopi culture is personified as a mischievous, comic clown, striped in black and white, often eating a watermelon. He's a gluttonous character who captures the attention of crowds with his burlesque behavior during ceremonies.

In Hopi tradition, this Kachina clown interrupts rituals with his eccentric behavior: he satirizes human behavior and shows that the actions of one person have repercussions for the whole group.
