Finger Ring with a Frog
Description
<p>This finger ring displays the small figure of a frog squatting on top of the bezel. The frog is well carved with incised details. The stylized head of Hathor is incised on the bottom of the bezel. The gold lining is probably modern. The image of a frog symbolizes fecundity and fertility, and rings with frog figures were worn by women particularly during the New Kingdom.</p><p>For the latest information about this object, <cite><a href='https://purl.thewalters.org/art/42.1470' rel='external'>Finger Ring with a Frog</a></cite>, visit the Online Collection of the Walters Art Museum.</p>
