Lapis lazuli, its rich cobalt-blue surface streaked with natural flecks of gold and white calcite. The frog’s body is smooth and slightly rounded, capturing the compact, resting posture of the animal. The eyes are set with turquoise, bright and vivid, their color a striking contrast against the deep blue of the lapis. The turquoise gives the frog an alert, watchful expression—alive and aware, as if it’s observing its surroundings in silence. Across the frog’s back are small, inlaid turquoise dots, arranged with care. 

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.
