Alabaster Frog by Michael Laweka

A cream, tan & red sienna alabaster frog with turquoise inlaid eyes in the raised sockets carved by Michael Laweka with 3 coral dots inlaid on top of the back. Frogs are the result of water so are associated with the prominence of rain & are used to encourage the growth of crops. Zuni believe the frog is a reminder that we are all the same - development wise - we begin as tiny fishlike creatures in the womb then we evolve from swimmers to creatures of the land. The frogs sings its song reminding us of our watery beginning. Artist: Michael Laweka (signed)Size: 2-5/8 in. long x 1-1/2 in. wide x 7/8 in. tall#55346
