Description

Mid-Century Zuni Jasper Frog Fetish with Applied Turquoise Stones

Mid-century Zuni hand-carved frog fetish, crafted from deep red jasper with natural turquoise stones applied for the eyes and a large polished cabochon on its back. The warm, earthy jasper contrasts beautifully with the vivid blue-green turquoise, showcasing the Zuni artisan’s balanced use of color and form. Representing fertility, rain, and renewal, the frog is one of the most enduring symbols in Zuni spiritual and artistic tradition. This finely carved example reflects mid-20th-century workmanship—when many Zuni artists combined traditional forms with a modern sense of polish and simplicity. A meaningful and visually engaging addition for collectors of Native American fetishes or Southwestern art.
