A cute little frog carved out of jet, with these stunning turquoise eyes that seem to twinkle in the sunlight. The craftsmanship is top-notch here, no doubt about it. And what makes it even more remarkable is the intricate inlay work on its body, adding another layer of artistic charm.

Frog (Da:k'yawiyo): Toad (Dakka) Frog (Dakkya) is a sign of water. Water is life. In Zuni Pueblo, frogs often appear on prayer bowls since many of the Zuni prayers and dances ask for water in the form of rain or snow. Cleansing is also a part of Frog’s meaning as well as emotional and physical healing.
