Soapstone Frog Fetish

Sculpted by Wayne Turpin (I think, I can’t quite make out the signature). The certificate of authenticity that came with the sculpture also lists an “Artist Census #” 401,578, but I'm not sure what that means. According to the guide on the back of the certificate, a frog fetish invokes the spirits to bring rain.
