Kokopelli Profile
The humpbacked flute player is a deity rooted deep in the Anasazi traditions and is still rampant in the pantheons of many pueblo peoples. To the Hopi, he is Kokopelli, influential in fertility and abundance, whether it be in the hunt, the fields, or human reproduction. Thus his presence in the Colorado Plateau country is natural, for the region was a place of birth for the Anasazi and other southwest peoples.
This figure, along with others on Rock Art Pottery, is very representative of the symbols used by the Anasazi (The Ancient Ones).
Legend of the Wedding Vase
Wedding vases were widely used by many Indian tribes in America. Many believed that as part of the ancient marriage ceremony, the medicine man would prepare a special potion for the young lovers. The mixture signified the promise of deep love and eternal happiness for the couple.
The Brave and Maiden then sealed the promise by drinking the potion simultaneously from the vase, each using one spout.
Wedding vases thus became a symbol of happiness and remain so to this day.
