Alex, using his keen eye for detail and steady hand carefully brought this unique frog to life. The choice of green serpentine stone added a natural element to the piece, while the contrasting red eyes made the frog appear both striking and mysterious. The addition of turquoise dots added an extra touch of color and whimsy to the carving. 

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.  .
