Zuni Pueblo frog fetishes are traditional Native American stone carvings from the Zuni people of New Mexico. These small animal figures represent the spirit of the frog, deeply tied to water, rain, abundance, fertility, and cleansing in Zuni culture. Frogs invoke spirits for much-needed rain in the arid Southwest desert, and they also connect to renewal, emotional healing, and fertility—traditionally, women might place a frog fetish near the bed when hoping to conceive.
