Mongwa, the Horned Owl Kachina
Candle Holder

Mongwa appears at the First Mesa with a white case mask which has a beak and owl wings instead of ears. He has a fox skin pelt hanging from the back of his kilt. Mongwa is known for his war on the clowns as they perform their un-Hopi-like antics. When the antics of the clowns become too boisterous, he is joined by Warrior Kachinas and they douse the clowns with water.
