Navajo Koshare Clown Kachina. Bertha Wood is a Navajo artist known for her whimsical folk art kachina dolls. While she carves each piece out of cottonwood like more traditional kachinas, Wood’s dolls are often created using several pieces glued together. Her dolls, like the fisherman koshari, are a more playful take on the more solemn traditional kachinas. Koshari is the name of a Rio Grande clown that is often seen on Mesas. These clowns are considered to be the fathers of the kachinas. 6.75'' H x 6''W.
