Old Style Hopi Carved Kokopelli Traditional Fertility Katsina Doll by Maxwell Talahytewa

Kokopelli is the hump-backed flute player in the Mixed Dances. He is considered the god of mist, a seducer of women, a baby maker, and a good-luck omen for hunters. Kokopelli is found in all of the Pueblo cultures of the Southwest. It is thought that his hump might just represent a bag of gifts that he uses to seduce the women.
