Small Egyptian copper-alloy figurine modeled as a frog, shown in three-quarter view with detailed limbs and a stylized body surface.
The image shows a single bronze/copper-alloy frog figurine against a light background. The frog is oriented leftward, with bulging eye/eye-lid forms on the left side, forelimb legs extending forward, and hind legs bent beneath the body. The body is covered with mottled patina and traces of painted/raised detailing: small rounded/oval incisions or ornaments suggest the skin texture on the back and sides. The head and shoulders have darker oxidized areas, and reddish-brown corrosion is visible along breaks and raised surfaces. No clear hieroglyphic inscriptions, cartouches, or modern labels are visible on the pictured object. No Greek/Coptic/Arabic text can be seen.
