Koshare measures 3 1/8 inches tall, 1 1/2 inches long, and 1 3/4 inches wide.

“The Koshare is a sacred clown in Southwestern Native American Pueblo cultures, including the Hopi, Keres, and Tewa traditions. Recognizable by their horizontal black-and-white body stripes and unique corn-husk “horns”, they act as mediators, educators, and society organizers through humor and pantomime.”
