Kokopelli is a deity of the American Southwest and is a fertility god for numerous Native American tribes.

Kokopelli travels from tribe to tribe, seducing with his flute and impregnating young women. Known as a trickster god, Kokopelli - a symbol - is 3000 years old and dates back to the ancient Anasazi. Petroglyphs of him still cover the Southwest, and over the years, Kokopelli has become a symbol for the region. Condition: Excellent vintage condition.
