Koshare (also spelled Koshares) are one of the most playful yet profound Hopi kachina figures—sacred clowns who entertain while delivering social commentary, prayers for rain, fertility, and corn growth. They often appear striped in black and white, with exaggerated features, and perform antics like drumming or mimicking human folly during ceremonies. In doll form, Koshare figures emphasize whimsy, making them popular collectibles. Their role as "society controllers" adds depth, blending humor with spiritual power.

Due to the fragile nature of kachina dolls, we do not guarantee they will not break during shipping. We do our best to pack them well, but due to their fragile nature and even with the best packing, small pieces can break. If you are purchasing kachina dolls, please keep this in mind.
