For your consideration is a signed Navajo Native American gold overlay Kokopelli bracelet set in sterling silver. Known as a fertility god, prankster, healer and story teller, Kokopelli has been a source of wonder throughout the country for centuries. Kokopelli embodies the true American Southwest, and dates back over 3,000 years ago, when the first petroglyphs were carved. Although his true origins are unknown, this traveling, flute-playing Casanova is a sacred figure to many Southwestern Native Americans. Carvings of this hunch-backed flute-playing figure have been found painted and carved into rock walls and boulders throughout the Southwest. The bracelet is marked Sterling and signed Al Lee, confirming the silver purity. The bracelet measures approximately 6 ½”.
