Kokopelli is the most popular motif. It is a spirit of abundance widely believed in by Native Americans in the Southwest, also known as the "Flute Player," and is known for its appearance of bending its back and playing the flute. It also has antennae. Because it is an old motif from prehistoric times, the interpretation varies depending on the tribe, but it is said to drive away winter and bring spring, sowing seeds from its back. *＊Overlay＊* A technique that expresses by overlapping two silver plates. The Hopi tribe excels at this. A design is drawn on the upper plate, cut out like a paper-cut with a fret saw, and then pasted to the lower plate. The lower plate is given expression with a small chisel, and then sulfur is used to sulfide (smoke) it to blacken and bring out the design. Because it is a one-shot technique where you cannot redo it if you cut it off, high skill is required to cut out a complex composition.
