Mar-tin

A family of three frogs carved from pristine white marble, each carving sitting side by side in a row, their forms gently rounded and harmonious, evoking a sense of togetherness and balance. Each frog has vivid coral eyes, adding a lively, warm contrast to the cool, smooth marble. On the backs of two of the frogs, intricate inlaid dragonflies add delicate detail and a touch of whimsy, suggesting a connection to nature and movement. The frogs are carved as a single unified piece, creating a cohesive composition that celebrates both the individuality of each frog and the quiet unity of the group. The interplay of white marble, coral, and inlaid motifs brings both elegance and charm to the work, making it a captivating display of craftsmanship and natural storytelling.

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.
