A Zuni Pueblo frog fetish carved by a member of the Quandelacy family represents a highly collectible blend of ancient Native American symbolism and elite generational Southwest artistry. The frog is one of the most critical, ancient rain-bringing fetishes. It is a powerful petition to the spirits for water in the arid desert. Frogs symbolize the cycle of life, renewal, and reproduction. Zuni tradition notes that women often keep a frog fetish near the bed to aid pregnancy.
