F453 Green Turquoise Frog
Green turquoise frog by Zuni fetish carver Daphne Quam. The 2 1/2” x 1” x 1 1/2” frog has a medicine bundle on its back.
Medicine bundles are meant as a gift offering to the animal spirit. The bundles provide the animal spirit with energy, enhancing its powers and allowing its prayers to be heard more easily. They are carried on either the back or side of the fetish.
The Frog is associated with water and rain. Used in ceremony, the Frog invokes the spirits to bring abundant rain. Frog is also the fertility fetish.
Zuni fetish carver Daphne Quam is a part of the Quam family and is married to Zuni carver Leland Boone. Leland and Daphne work on fetishes together and solo, so be sure to check in on their work often. Every piece is a unique celebration of heritage and culture with a story all its own.
