The Kokopelli

Didnt really know about The Kokopelli until i received this card.

The Kokopelli is a symbol of the southwest on rock art and pottery. It is one of the most easily recognized figures found in the petroglyphs and pictographs of the southwest. The Southwest Indians associate him universally with fertility as well as their physical and spiritual well being.
The mysterious Kokopelly character can be seen in a number of Native American cultures.
Kokopelli is distinguished by his dancing pose, a hunchback and a flute.
His whimsical nature, charitable deeds, and vital spirit give him a prominent position in Native American cultures.
