Pueblo Shell Frog Fetish With Turquoise

Item: 1597

Origin: Pueblo
Date: First half 20th century

Media: Shell, turquoise

Dimensions: 1.65″ by 1.5″

Description: This frog fetish shows the style of much earlier, prehistoric Hohokam pieces.  The eyes are clearly present, as are the hind legs.  The back portion has been overlaid with mosaic turquoise starting broadly at the head and finishing to a point at the rear.  There are no punctures to the shell, so this was not used as a pendant.

Condition:  Condition is original without restoration.
