This impressive, large frog sculpture is an exceptional piece of Balinese garden art, perfect for bringing a sense of serenity and global style to any indoor or outdoor space. The minimalist frog is depicted in a meditative or "praying" pose (hands together, eyes closed in contemplation), a symbol of good fortune, prosperity, and tranquility in Balinese and Buddhist cultures. He is crafted from a natural durable stone likely volcanic ash as it is not as heavy as cement but still is quite heavy. Let's just say he is no pushover. He is a beautifully textured, organic finish that stays white even after sitting outdoors for at least 6 seasons that he has lived with me and several more prior to him becoming a fixture in our garden. that is resistant to the elements. The design suggests it is a vintage piece, likely dating from the mid-to-late 20th century. This unique and substantial piece is a conversation starter and a wonderful addition for collectors of unique garden decor or Asian art. He makes a great first impression as a greeter for you visitors however, he commands a cool cove in your Zen garden so does quite well as a surprise along the hidden path.
