Small hand carved pure black obsidian frog statue made from a single piece of stone. The black frog figurine has simple lines and is brightly polished. It is not signed.
Obsidian is the rock formed as a result of quickly cooled lava. The frog being used by Haida or other First Nations people, I first thought it was an argillite representation of the animal. But its vitreous aspect convinced me it was obsidian, a volcanic mineral-like glass made of lava extacted in various countries, particularly in South America.
