This Mudhead, or Koyemsi, is holding a watermelon while he is standing on a drum. The Koyemsi are considered to be clowns, but their common roles are as interlocutors between katsinas and humans, announcing impending events, translating requests, and giving directions. They are thought to have originated at the Zuni Pueblo, and versions of them are found in all of the Pueblos.
