Egyptian Early Dynastic Glazed Stone Frog

Item Details

Description

**Originally Listed At $600**

Ancient Egypt, Early Dynastic Period, 1st to 2nd Dynasty, ca. 3100 to 2686 BCE. A delightful amphibian, hand-carved from a stone with traces of a light blue glaze. The frog crouches with his legs drawn under the squat body, and his spine and eyes are slightly raised above the rest of the surface. The exterior has developed a bumpy and crystalized texture over the ages. The ancient Egyptians associated frogs with the waters of the Nile as well as birth, creation, and annual rejuvenation of the land. Concurrently, the frog-headed goddess Heqet (also Heket) is a very old deity associated with the birthing process. This amulet may have been a lucky item to ensure a painless and safe delivery. Size: 1.5" L x 1" W x .625" H (3.8 cm x 2.5 cm x 1.6 cm)

Heqet or Heket is one of the oldest and most important deities in Egyptian mythos as she is most-closely associated with the child-bearing process, birth, and reproduction. According to author and Egyptologist Garry J. Shaw, "The goddess Heket, shown as a frog or frog-headed, was regarded as a female counterpart to Khnum, and is sometimes referred to as his wife, though she is also cited as the wife of Horus the Elder, as well as of the god Heh. Connected with childbirth, her image was carved into apotropaic wands (also called birth tusks) of the Middle Kingdom, and amulets in her shape were worn in the New Kingdom." (Shaw, Garry J. "The Egyptian Myths: A Guide to the Ancient Gods and Legends." Thames & Hudson Inc., New York, 2014, p. 156)

Provenance: ex-Phoenicia Holyland Antiquities, New York City, New York, USA, acquired before 2010
