A seated Hopi contemporary Kachina doll, meticulously crafted by Robert L. Begay. The figure is a Koshare or "Glutton" clown, characterized by its bold black and white striped body. It wears a wide-brimmed straw hat over dark hair, a vibrant red neckerchief, and fringed tan leggings. The clown holds a painted wooden watermelon slice in its left hand and a piece of red fabric in its right, with another large watermelon painted on its lap. The entire figure is perched on a natural wood stump against a dark, rustic wooden background.
This striking Hopi contemporary kachina by Robert L. Begay, hand‑carved from cottonwood root, honors the living ceremonial traditions of the Hopi people.
