DESCRIPTION:

This Kokopelli pin is a true treasure! This piece of Hopi jewelry is overlay hand crafted out of authentic sterling silver. Overlay is a process that utilizes at least two layers of sterling silver. One layer forms the foundation, while the second layer is used to design the individual detailed overlay. In this pendant, the second layer forms a gorgeous Kokopelli design. The pendant is stamped sterling and hallmarked.

The Kokopelli is a common fertility symbol throughout the Southwest. In Native American beliefs, the Kokopelli visits various communities, seducing and impregnating the young women drawn to the tones of his flute playing.
