KOKOPELLI KACHINA DOLL BY ANTHONY POLEAHLA (HOPI)
Kokopelli, the Hump-backed Flute Player is one of the most iconic figures of southwest art. "His image is found in all of the pueblos and among the southern Indians as well. Ties with Mexico and even South America have been suggested for he appears in all of these places. Among the Hopis he is a Flute Player only when he borrows a flute to dance. Usually he appears in the Mixed Kachina Dances or sometimes in a Night Dance. [H]e is thought of as a seducer of girls, a bringer of babies… and a tutelary of hunting…." Kachinas by Barton Wright
measurements: 9 1/2" tall x 3" wide
