- This monumental cedar sculpture stands over 15 feet high and features male and female figures standing upon a giant frog. The sculpture symbolizes a Haida origin story of the Frog crest, one of four crests which Jim Hart has the right to use. The male figure captures the moment of transformation between from and human form. The sculpture was commissioned by Westminister Management Corporation and Bentall Corporation and is generously on loan to the Museum.
