Indigenous ancestors understood the vital connection between amphibians like frogs and ecological health. Their skin is permeable making them vulnerable to any environmental changes. The health of frogs reflects the health of ecosystems. In Zuni Pueblo, daakya (frog) often appear on prayer bowls and dances are given asking for water in the form of rain or snow. Carved frogs are considered a rain-bringing fetish associated with abundance, fertility and cleansing. Avery Calavaza's angelite Frog is very unique and measures approximately 2" long, 1 5/8" wide and 1 3/4" tall.
