Esteban Najera has carved this wonderful fetish from mule deer antler. The button of the antler (the base of the antler where it attaches to the skull) is visible and three frogs rest on top of toad stools that have been carved from the antler tines. This carving is made from one piece of antler. The chunky frogs are individually carved and one has mistakenly zapped his buddy with his tongue. Or maybe that is how frogs greet each other! Who knows?


The eyes of the frogs are lightly inked and there is no inlay on this carving. Esteban is known for his antler work and his style can be whimisical or extremely realistic. Frogs are a very popular motif in Zuni art because where there are frogs, there is water! And water, in an arid environment is a much prayed for necessity.
