Salt River Canyon Serpentine, Turquoise And Pink Mussel Shell Frogs With Tadpole by Daisy and Lavies Natewa

$ 70.00

A grayish green colored Salt River Canyon serpentine frog with its turquoise baby placed on it's back - both with jet inlaid eyes - carved by Daisy and Lavies Natewa. The pair are held together for life with an offering bundle featuring a pink mussel shell dragonfly - topped with two turquoise beads. The pairing of the 2 together portrays in stone the bond shared between the parent and the child. Both dragonflies and frogs are the result of water so are associated with the prominence of rain and are used to encourage the growth. 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.
