This kachina is known as Nah
Took Vookeh and is half corn dancer and half clown.
It is said that there was
a great destruction that caused all the kachinas to break apart,
but eventually they were assembled again and all were assembled
correctly except the Corn and Koshare - which were put together
- making up this kachina.

Augustine Mowa III is a respected
carver from Second Mesa. His work is easily recognized and has
a bold, broad appeal.
We particularly liked the
feather work involved in this piece.
