It is signed with the artist´s name and tribal registration number. This artist makes his Dolls in the old style as opposed to today´s style of having the head of the Kokopelli with 4 protrusions. ----- The Kokopelli is the spirit that brought news from village to village. He also has a component of fertility as well as humor. ----- Made of cottonwood root?, and is awesomely hand painted. It has a feathers on the top of its head and other details including suede arm guards, fringes, and leggings, many small turquoise chips.Kokopelli is the Hopi word for “wooden humped back” which makes sense as the figure is always hunched over as he plays his flute.He was the predominant figure in the religious landscape of the Southwest from 500 A.D. through 1325 A.D. Heis considered a fertility deity as well as a lover of music, dance, replenishment and mischief. It is said that he brings the change of season from winter to spring and that the hunch on his back is actually a sack of seeds.
