Alvin Calavaza: Green Marble, Frog

Ca-la-va-za The choice of materials - the luxurious green marble symbolizing prosperity and growth, the vibrant turquoise representing protection and spirituality - adds layers of meaning to this extraordinary piece. The piercing gaze of the frog's turquoise eyes seem to pierce through the very soul, conveying an aura of wisdom and ancient knowledge. Frog (Da:k'yawiyo): Toad (Dakka) Frog (Dakkya) is a sign of water. Water is life. In Zuni Pueblo, frogs often appear on prayer bowls since many of the Zuni prayers and dances ask for water in the form of rain or snow. Cleansing is also a part of Frog’s meaning as well as emotional and physical healing.   Dimensions: Length: 15/16" X Width: 3/4" X Height: 5/8" Purchased
