Ca. 300-100 BC.
A silver frog amulet, crafted with meticulous detail. This captivating piece features a stylized representation of a frog, with its legs gracefully extended and a streamlined body. The frog's form, though simplified, exudes a sense of liveliness and agility. Adorned with tiny dots along its back, the frog amulet captures the essence of the creature's textured skin, adding an element of realism to the artistic rendering. At the forefront of the amulet, a suspension loop emerges from the frog's mouth. This loop allowed the amulet to be easily attached to a chain or cord, enabling it to be worn as a protective charm or pendant.
