Hopi Carved and Painted Wooden Katsina with Feathers

This carved wooden katsina depicts Kokopelli, the humped-back flute player associated with fertility, music, and abundance. Created by Hopi artist Manfred Susunkewa, the figure reflects both traditional katsina imagery and the artist’s distinctive carving style. Such representations emphasize Kokopelli’s enduring role as a cultural symbol of renewal and life. Hopi Pueblo, Arizona. Late 20th Century CE
