Vicus Frog Vessel
Vicus Frog Vessel
This Vicus ceramic frog effigy from Peru dates to between circa 200 BCE and 200 CE. Measures 5 1/2 inches in height and 7 inches in length. A wide bodied frog standing on four legs was painted in black resist dot patterns. Features a deeply incised set of bulging eyes, tiny snout, and a broad slit mouth. The low and wide spout echoes the shape of the body. Very light professional restoration was done to eyelids and lips. Left four-leg had been reattached with break lines filled and restored. Light scratches as seen in pictures. Appears intact.
