EGYPTIAN FROG IN BRONZE
Very rare Egyptian bronze frog figure standing on its forelegs. 
The frog was considered a primordial being by the Egyptians because of its fertility and its spectacular transformations from eggs into tadpoles and quadrupeds. The frog was very popular in ancient Egypt, it had a protective role and announced the flood of the Nile by its croaking.

This large figure has a schematic head, a thick body and long folded hind legs, it seems ready to pounce.
Fixed on a white marble base.
Bronze, Late Period, 664 to 332 BC
 Size: 46 mm x 43 mm x 29 mm (without the base) - Good condition - lacking the front legs
