Flute player images, with and without a humpback, appear in prehistoric petroglyphs, pictographs, pottery and kiva murals across a wide area of the American southwest. Rock art images of Kokopelli are most often found in Anasazi Culture areas beginning around AD 500, rarely found in Fremont and Mogollon Culture areas, and not found in Hohokam areas; although flute player images are found occasionally on Hohokam pottery beginning around AD 750. It is ironic that the bent-over, dancing, headdressed flute player that is most often depicted as Kokopelli is based on Hohokam design and not that of the Anasazi, the culture that depicted him in greatest abundance. I have reproduced rock art and pottery images of Kokopelli from different cultures and different times for your southwest decor.
