The always mischievous and sometimes gluttonous Koshare are perfect satire of normal village life. Like many clown carvers, Lauren's Koshare are unique in that each has his own distinct characteristics - and personality. Their facial features, posture, and body movements tell us so much about the attitude of life in the Hopi plaza.

Lauren is the son of well-known Hopi artist, Neil David Sr.. Like his father, he has an affinity for the clowns of the plaza. His work is rapidly improving, and his carvings increasingly depict multiple figure characters - such as the clown and the dog depicted here.
