DescriptionThis object is a small, clay figurine depicting a lizard sitting atop a frog's head. The frog has an extremely wide, oval-shaped mouth at the front of the object, with two small legs extending downwards. Two small slits atop the frog's mouth represent its eyes, while smaller indentations represent the frog's nose. A clay lizard figurine rests on the frog's head, looking up. Small, reflective fragments of mica are visible within the object's surface. Excess, tan-colored slip is visible dripping down the left side of the frog's face.On View
