Kachina DOLL representing the Koyemsi Clown
Also known as Kachina Tête de Boue (Mud head)
Hopi Indians, Arizona
Circa 1920-1940
Cottonwood, pigments, leather and fabric
H. 20.3; L. 9 cm
(old accident)

Monoxyle wooden doll pigmented with reddish-brown ochre, featuring a hooded mask with three globular protuberances and a mud-covered body. Her arms are mobile, and her waist is encircled by a white-pigmented, fringed skin kilt.

Koyemsi is an important player in Hopi ritual dances: he provokes the guardians of order - the Kachina Guardians and Warriors - with his arrogant, playful behavior, in a game full of humor and energy.

Kachina dolls were given to children at the end of ceremonial dances. They would take them home and hang them on the wall, teaching them about the pantheon of divinities.

Reference H. S. Colton, Hopi Kachina Dolls, N°59.

Provenance: Former private collection in Paris, France.
