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.

Dimensions : Approx. 2 1//2" (6,5 cm) tall and 2" (5 cm) across.

Condition: Very good vintage condition. Two shallow chips on base.

Smoke-free environment. Shipping fees always combined on multiple purchase.

NOTE: All our products are antique or vintage. We strive to purchase and present only items in good to near-mint condition, but most pieces will show some degree of wear that we try to describe and show in our pictures. We don't do any touch-up on our items unless specified.
