This one is meant to be worn with pride. This is a very, very heavy gauge belt buckle. This incredible buckle was hand made from start to finish. And, it is perfect down to the matting. This buckle features the overlaid traditional images of Kokopelli. This image was hand cut with perfect precision out of nickel Silver and overlaid onto the nickel Silver buckle. Silver on Silver, you can't go wrong with that. Made in our shop by master buckle artist JR Jackson. This impressive buckle is 2-1/2" by 3-1/2". We can put any size keeper on the back you need from 1" to 2" in 1/4" increments (1-1/2" is the most common). Just let us know what you need.
The Kokopelli was so persuasive as a flute playing trickster of Southwest legend, that he could charm an eagle or the wind itself. He is one of the most intriguing and widespread images surviving from ancient Anasazi Indian mythology, and is a prominent figure in Hopi legends. The figure represents a mischievous trickster or the Minstrel, spirit of music. Kokopelli is considered a symbol of fertility who brought well-being to the people, assuring success in hunting, planting and growing crops, and human conception.
The famous hunchbacked flute player, is a symbol of joy and fertility, a roaming deity bringing joy to all, and the Casanova of the Cliff Dwellers. Thousands of years old but figuratively speaking very much in the present.
