Georgette Quam Serpentine Frog Fetish Carving

Zuni Pueblo artist Georgette Quam handcrafted this truly unique frog fetish carving. Hand- carved from green. With bright blue turquoise eyes and body accents. While many tribes and Pueblos of the Southwest are known for making fetishes, but this ancient art form is most closely associated with the Zuni Pueblo, who are considered the most skilled fetish carvers. Traditionally, they depict wolves, bears, mountain lions, eagles, frogs, rabbits, fish, corn maiden, and other animals. The Zuni people believe that the skills and qualities of the animal reside in these fetishes and can bring some of the animals’ power to their keeper. Frog measures 1-1/4" long and wide, stands 1/4" tall. Comes with a certificate of authenticity.
