This hand carved Hopi Clown Kachina doll titled “Clown” is signed by the artist James on the base. The figure depicts a lively clown dancer with painted markings, a dramatic horned headdress, fur accents, feathers, shell decorations, and leather ties. Mounted on a natural wood base, the carving captures the animated movement associated with traditional Kachina dancers. A beautiful piece of Southwestern Native American folk art that displays wonderfully. Signed on the base “James” and titled “Clown,” suggesting a handcrafted Southwestern trading-post piece.
