Description
Kokopelli is a fertility deity, usually depicted as a humpbacked flute player, who has been venerated by some Native American cultures in the Southwestern United States. Like most fertility deities, Kokopelli presides over both childbirth and agriculture. He is also a trickster god and represents the spirit of music. Kokopelli's flute-playing chases away the winter and brings about spring.
Kokopelli may have originally been a representation of ancient Aztec traders who brought their goods in sacks slung across their backs possibly evolving into Kokopelli's familiar hump. Some southwest tribes consider Kokopelli to be a trader as these men used flutes to announce themselves as friendly when nearing a settlement.
Some digital effects were applied to the original image after the photograph was made. No electrons were harmed during the transition. Ordered images will not contain the FAA watermark
