FROG
Deeply carved Frog plaque carved by First Nations artist Sammy Dawson. It measures 12 1/2" in length, 6" in height and 3/4" thick. Richly stained and great detail !!!
The frog symbolism signals a time for rebirth or renewal. The frog totem can thrive both in water and on land. This frog meaning simply tells that you are also inclined to navigate between physical, emotional, and spiritual planes, and find joy in life and nature.
Sammy... Dawson was born in Alert Bay, BC in the year 1976. He belongs to the Kwakwaka'wakw People. While growing up in Alert bay Sammy had early on started to watch the local carvers and his grandfather Chief William Robertson create masks and other carvings for the local potlatches. He started carving his first piece when he was 12 years old. Later he apprenticed under Simon Dick as well as with Eddie McDougal and worked together with many local carvers. Today he carves Masks, drums as well as larger totems and other ceremonial pieces. He is a leader amongst his peers and has become a very collectable artist that is represented in many of the top native art galleries.
