Zuni lapidary artisans are well known for their carved animal fetishes such as this exquisitely carved turquoise frog with jet eyes. The body contours have been inscribed into the stone. The frog is mounted in a silver bezel and placed on a silver sheet that is fitted for use as a pin or a pendant. The back is stamped ZUNI but no artisan's name.
