Hus-ti-to

A frog carved from grey Picasso marble sits low and compact, its rounded body and gently curved limbs rendered with smooth, naturalistic lines. The stone’s swirling grey tones, accented with black streaks and patches, mimic the texture and subtle patterning of a real frog’s skin, giving the piece a dynamic, organic quality. Bright turquoise eyes are set into the face, their vivid blue-green hue contrasting strikingly with the muted grey marble, bringing a lively spark to the carving. The combination of the marble’s natural elegance and the playful alertness of the frog creates a piece that feels both grounded and full of subtle energy.

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.
