Serpentine Frog by Herbert Him

$ 96.00

A prominent grayish cream colored serpentine frog with a soft green cast and dark green veins carved by Herbert Him looking at the viewer with turquoise inlaid eyes. Herbert has carved the front legs in the round with the back legs carved in low relief as the body melds with the base - also created from the same stone. The Zuni village is placed at the front of the carving - suggesting this frog is protecting the village. The 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.
