It almost feels as though this statue could come alive at any moment

James Panteah: Lapis Lazuli, Frog Corn Meal Bowl It almost feels as thoughPanteah Lapis lazuli, its rich cobalt blue surface streaked with natural flecks of gold and white calcite. The frogs body is smooth and slightly rounded, capturing the compact, resting posture of the animal. The eyes are set with turquoise, bright and vivid, their color a striking contrast against the deep blue of the lapis. The turquoise gives the frog an alert, watchful expressionalive and aware, as if its observing its surroundings in silence.
