Carving of a #frog, 700-800 CE

Oliva porphyria shell & quartz, 21/8 x 23/4 x 1/4 in (6.7 X 7 x 0.4 cm)
Museo Nacional de Arqueología y Etnología, Guatemala
From the exhibition “Fiery Pool: The Maya and the Mythic Sea”
“Originally part of a sumptuous burial offering from the island of Topoxte in Lake Yaxha, this shell carving portrays a smooth and nimble swimming frog, limbs in motion, with pale eyes of inlaid stones. Its captivating color and delicate pattern come from the natural appearance of the Oliva porphyria shell, which is found in the Pacific Ocean in southern Central America.“ Official museum photo of the frog shell carving, top down profile on gradient blue-grey background photograph © Peabody Essex Museum / Jorge Pérez de Lara 2009 Fiery Pool: The Maya and the Mythic Sea Pl. 17 p. 62

Two Surinam or Amazonian Horned #Frogs (Ceratophrys cornuta), 1884
watercolor, double pen & black ink framing lines
16 1⁄8 x 20 in. (40.9 x 50.8 cm)
www.christies.com/lot/lot-6468...
"The bestiary of the untypical Austrian artist, Aloïs Zötl, is highly varied. The sale of one hundred and fifty watercolours from the artist’s studio included some six drawings of animals from the amphibian family (Hôtel Drouot sale, Paris, 19 December 1955, lots 39-44), which did not however include this piece. Even when painting animals of which he had direct visual experience, the artist drew his inspiration from existing iconography, for example, engraved illustrations from natural history treatises....These two Amazonian or Surinamese frogs (with the female in the foreground and the male in the background), are approximately fifteen to twenty centimeters long, carnivorous, and eat prey including lizards, small frogs, and other mammals." signed & dated ‘Alois Zötl fecit am 14 Juni 1884’ (lower R), inscribed ‘Amphibien Taf. 37’ (lower L), ‘Weibchen.’, ‘Die Hornkröte. Rano Cornuta.’ & ‘Mänchen.’ (lower C); numbered ‘86’ (lower R)

This large, endangered frog species is endemic to coastal NSW & VIC Australia.

Body four-footed, naked, without tail. SPECIFIC CHARACTER. BROWN FROG, blueith beneath; with the fides fpeckled with ochre-colour, and the toes of the fore-feet fpiny. This animal certainly cannot be numbered amongft the moft beautiful of its genus: it is a fpecies, how-ever, which has never before been defcribed, and is more peculiarly interefting from the circumftance of its being a native of the diftant region of New Hol-land, which has added fo many zoological treafures to the cabinets of natural hiftory.
