- Lot Description
Metal wall art of Kokopelli, a Native American fertility deity, playing his flute. Mottled green and brown on facing side. Made in Haiti.
Size: 20 x 9 1/2 x 1 in.
#2527 .Kokopelli is a fertility deity, usually depicted as a humpbacked flute player (often with feathers or antenna-like protrusions on his head), who is venerated by Native American cultures in the Southwestern United States. Kokopelli presides over both childbirth and agriculture, and is known as a trickster god who represents the spirit of music. The Hopi believe Kokopelli carries unborn children on his back and distributes them to women. Kokopelli also presides over the reproduction of game animals, and is often depicted with animal companions such as rams and deer. Kokopelli’s flute-playing chases away the winter and brings about spring. Many tribes, such as the Zuni and Ancestral Pueblo, also associate Kokopelli with rain. The first known images of him appear on Hohokam pottery dated to sometime between 750 and 850 AD. His legend likely originated from traders who traversed the Andes Mountain Range up into the modern day Rockies, and who often were hunched over from carrying numerous sacks on their backs. Even today, tribes may refer to foreign visitors as “Kokopelli” when they bring news, stories, and trinkets from the outside world to share with the little pueblos or villages. In recent years, the emasculated (i.e. non-ithyphallic) version of Kokopelli has been adopted as a broader symbol of the Southwestern United States as a whole. His ubiquitous image, first appearing in petroglyph form around 1000 AD, now adorns countless items such as t-shirts, ball caps, key-chains, and patio decor.
