Kokopelli



This painting of Kokopelli appeared on an inside door of the store at one of the campgrounds where we overnighted on our recent trip to the US Southwest. I love that painting. Wish I could have bought the door and taken it home.

Kokopelli is usually dipicted as a humpbacked flute player. He is a mythical creature or god of fertility/agriculture, and other things, in the folk lore of the Indians of the US Southwest. The word is from the Hopi language.
