Sometimes referred to as Kiva Jar, Zuni polychrome frog jars are distinguished by their use of multiple colors—black, red, and brown mineral or plant-based pigments—painted on a white or cream clay slip, creating intricate designs. The jars typically feature three to six molded frog effigies climbing the exterior, symbolizing rain, fertility, and transformation, as frogs emerge after rains in the arid Southwest.
