The ancient Native American cultures of the Freemont and Anasazi peoples had disappeared long before the white man settled the North American continent. What became of them is a mystery. They are known to us only by the artifacts and art work they left behind. Both cultures created petroglyphs and pictographs on flat vertical rock surfaces in the areas where they lived, fished, and hunted. Pictographs were painted or drawn onto the rock surface using various mineral "paints", and petroglyphs were pecked or carved into the rock's surface. Today, we can only speculate at why they made them, and what they meant. Subject matter included human forms, animals, shields, tools, rain clouds, lightning, celestial events and what appear to be solar calendars,and abstract geometric figures. The most interesting are supernatural entities that appear to be gods, spirits, or aliens.

Kokopelli is the name given to a fairly common male figure found on hundreds of rock art panels throughout the South West. He is usually depicted with a prominent hump on his back, long braids of hair or feathers on his head, and often playing a flute. Kokopelli is often depicted as a fertility god/symbol, traveling minstrel, hunting magician, rain priest, trader, or trickster. It is obvious to me that Kokopelli really enjoyed life. If alive today, I can see him involved in all kinds of fun sports and outdoor activities; like cruising on a chopper. So I decided to create a "petroglyph" of Easy Rider Kokopelli.

This necklace pendant is hand crafted in sterling silver. I started by doing a drawing of Kokopelli riding on a chopper. I then photoetched the "petroglyph" into metal. A mold was made from this original, and cast in sterling silver. After the silver is polished, I use a jewelers antiquing in the petroglyph depression to make it black so it will stand out. The circular pendant measures 7/8" diameter x 1.4mm thick, and weighs about 5 grams. The front surface is textured to resemble the natural rock surfaces that the Ancients drew their art works on. The chain is a 24" silver color plated curb chain.
