A frog carved from green serpentine rests in a poised, lifelike stance, its smooth form shaped to highlight the stone’s rich green tones and subtle natural variations. Bright turquoise eyes are set into its face, their vivid color adding a lively, watchful expression. Along its back, small inlaid turquoise dots create a decorative pattern, their brilliant blue hue standing out against the deeper greens of the serpentine. The combination of the earthy stone and vibrant inlays gives the piece a harmonious balance of natural beauty and artistic detail, capturing the frog’s quiet presence with a touch of cultural symbolism.

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.
