Pair of Reconstituted Stone Frog Garden Ornaments, England 1970s

Offered by: Modern Antiquarian

Description
Frogs have long occupied a symbolic role in Japanese culture, where Kaeru signifies good fortune and safe return. Inspired by that tradition, this reconstituted stone pair likely dates to the 20th century, when Eastern garden motifs were widely adopted in the West. Compact and grounded, the figures are meant to sit low among stone and planting. One retains a green inlaid eye, the other bears the marks of loss and time. Wear feels earned rather than diminished. Together they function as quiet talismans. Wear consistent with age and use. 3.25"w x 3.5"d x 3"h
