Indigenous ancestors understood the vital connection between amphibians like Frogs and ecological health. Their skin is permeable making them very 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. Brian Yatsattie's upright amphibian prays for rain. Sweet eyes are from jet inlays. Dimensions of this wonderful fossilized walrus tooth water creature are approximately 1" tall, 3/4" wide and 1/2" deep.
