Description

  • This is a handcrafted pair of Navajo created Kokopelli Sand Cast Earrings. The earrings feature the Kokopelli with Turquoise Eyes all made in sterling silver. The earrings dangle approximately 2 1/8 inches from the center of the ear loop. Total weight of the pair is 3.9 grams.

  • The Kokopelli was regarded as a fertility symbol. The Anasazi or "Ancient Ones" were primarily farmers, growing corn, beans, and squash in the Four Corners area on the Colorado Plateau. Both the Basketmaker Period (dating at least from about 200 B.C.) and the Pueblo Period (dating from about 700 A.D.) include the humpbacked flute player among their deities or supernaturals. As a fertility symbol, he was welcome during corn-planting season. No matter what form or how complete our understanding of his history, Kokopelli still brings wonder to our lives. The thin sound of his flute that once echoed off canyyon walls must still be reverberating around the Southwest and through the ages.
