Object for daily use or for decoration, made of buffalo horn. The frog's head is raised high, with carved ornamentation between its bone-inlaid eyes and on its back. In addition to the characteristic notching, the 'speckles', which imitates either the original skin or perhaps a pattern, make this charming little figure even more special.
