Description

Native American Navajo Made Earrings with Kokopelli by Robert Gene

These Sterling silver Kokopelli earrings were made by Navajo silversmith Robert Gene. These wonderful earrings show the most popular figure in the southwest, Kokopelli, stamped into the silver. Kokopelli is an engaging image that originated in the ancient Anasazi culture and was brought into the present by the Pueblo Indians. This classic figure of a bent over figure playing a flute has been associated with shamanism and supernatural qualities. He is a magical being who, by playing his flute, calls the clouds to make rain. Kokopelli is also a symbol for fertility because he carries seeds and mist in his hump. The earrings hang 1.625 inches off French wires.
