DescriptionThe largest Coyote/Koshari dominates this image. His head faces right and he is standing holding a large watermelon. The pueblo is visible in the lower background. The sky is pink above, blue below. Clown Kachinas provide amusement during Kachina ceremonies. Ofter shown with watermelons, they behave in the usual manner of pueblo clowns, engaging in loud and boisterous conversation, immoderate actions, and gluttony. They are often drummers for dances.
