The Kokopelli symbol is an iconic figure in Native American culture, particularly among the tribes of the Southwestern United States . Kokopelli is usually depicted as a humpbacked flute player, often with feathers or antenna-like protrusions on his head .He is believed to be a fertility deity , a bringer of rain and abundance and a symbol of good luck and prosperity .
