Description:  This is a great frog fetish by Teddy Weahkee.  The stone has a mixed pattern with very light turquoise blue and soft sand colored stone.  Hide wrapped around the body holds an arrowhead also made of turquoise and coral and shell beads.   The shape of the frog is more abstract and while it is clearly a frog, the sculpture of it is only showing the minimal aspects.
