Faience frog amulet, yello with green stripes and red eyes.The heiroglyph Nefer, which generally means good or beautiful, on the base. Pierced longitudenally for stringing. All frog amulets of this size and color have been found in the Royal Apartments at Amarma. See Julia Swanson, Amarna, City of Ankhenaten and Nefertiti, the identical type illustrated on page 85. I have owned this amulet since I purchased it at a Los Angeles coin show in the late 1960s. Length 11mm. Time of Ankhenaten 1353-1335 BCE. It is easy when holding this amulet to imagine one of the Ladies of the Royal Harem wearing a necklace composed of these frogs. The frog was a symbol of creation, regeneration and fertility.
