Nelson Yatsattie's enchanting Frog has hopped out of the water to say hello. A skillful polishing job shows off the natural beauty of the Queen's Creek marble specimen. Friendly eyes are from turquoise inlays as blue as a Pueblo sky. Dimensions of this gorgeous water creature are approximately 2 1/2" long, 2 1/2" wide and 1 1/2" tall.

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.
Melvin Eriacho
Indigenous Nutria travertine is a found stone on the Nutria area of the Zuni Pueblo reservation. It can be either travertine, agate or jasper. The rich tertiary colors are like a warm cup of coffee. Melvin Eriacho is a master carver who recently brought by a beautifully polished Nutria travertine Frog. The attention to detail is extraordinary like the two raised skin ridges called dorsolateral folds that run from the eyes down the back or the wonderfully realistic webbed feet. Charming eyes are from turquoise inlays. About 4 1/2" long, 3 1/4" wide and 2 1/4" tall.
Brian Yatsattie
Fire agate is a rare variety of chalcedony found in the southwestern United States and Mexico. During the Tertiary Period enormous volcanic activity helped form this fabulous gemstone said to promote energy and rid negativity. Brian Yatsattie transformed fire agate into an approximately 1 3/4" long, 1 3/4" wide and 1/2" tall Frog with amazing rust orange, burgundy and rich brown hues. It's essentially carved and wonderful to hold, almost cleansing in a sense.
