Hopi Pueblo Katsina Doll - C3753.42Kokopellmana is the erotic female counterpart of Kokopelli, the Humpback Flute Player.  She will induce someone to run against "her" and then hoist her skirts and overtake him.  She flings him to the ground and imitates copulation with him to the amusement of the audience and the complete discomfort of the loser.  Kokopellmana is impersonated by a male, as are all Hopi Katsinas.
