Kokopelli on the road mug

Our Kokopelli images are designed to honor the history and tradition that Kokopelli represents. Kokopelli is an ancient native American symbol of fertility, originating from several Native American cultures, particularly among the Hopi, Zuni, and other Pueblo peoples of the Southwestern United States. Kokopelli also represents music, good times, and good luck. It is often depicted as a hunchbacked flute player, sometimes with feathers or antennas, dancing joyfully. Kokopelli carries a rich and complex symbolism, which varies slightly among different tribes but generally encompasses: Fertility & Abundance, Music & Joy, Change & Renewal, and Travel & Trade. The historical roots of Kokopelli are in the southwest area of the United States, known today as the Four Corners (Utah, the southwest corner of Colorado, the Northeast corner of Arizona, and the northwest corner of New Mexico).
