Description:
|
The eyes, ears, mouth, and spine were inlaid in this figurative deep blue-green stone. The stone's image is obviously male, but less apparent are the secondary front and rear faces. Lay the stone stomach down, it transforms into a resting frog, the symbol of fertility. The stone transforms from a man to a frog and maybe a dog.
