Mesopotamian Stone Frog Amulet
2nd-1st millennium B.C.Sold for (Inc. bp): £234
Modelled as a crouching frog with anatomical detailing, pierced longitudinally. 5.56 grams, 26 mm
From the collection of a gentleman, acquired on the London art market in the 1990s.
Frog amulets in ancient Egypt symbolised fertility, rebirth, and regeneration. Associated with the goddess Heqet, who was linked to childbirth and life-giving forces, these amulets were particularly popular in contexts related to fertility and protection during pregnancy and childbirth. Their connection to the annual Nile flood, which brought new life to the land, further emphasised their symbolism of renewal and abundance. -
