Gaspeite Frog by Brion Hattie

$ 120.00

A yellowish green gaspeite frog with a prominent brown matrix, an incised smile and pin point apple coral inlaid eyes that look up at the viewer. Carved and delivered to Sunshine Studio by Brion Hattie, the feet are carved as rounded forms. In honor of summer, we present a frog in the hope that rain will come to our parched earth here in the South West. Brion is the half brother of the now deceased Jeff Tsalabutie - Loren Tsalatbutie's father. 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.
