Egyptian Marble Frog by Andres Lementino

A black, cream and tan veined Egyptian marble frog with round turquoise inlaid eyes and jet horizontal inlaid pupils - carved by Andres Lementino. 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: Andres Lementino (signed)Size: 1-1/4 in. wide x 1-3/4 in. long x 1 in. tall#61835
