Hand-crafted Wood Figurine with Batik Motives, Croaking Bullfrog (L)

Delicately hand-crafted and polished on wood, then beautifully painted with batik techniques, this unique batik wood croaking bullfrog is a strange looking percussion musical instrument. To play it, set it in your palm with the front of the frog facing away from you and run the thicker end of the stick over the ridges up the back of the frog from the rear to the front. You can change the sound by covering and uncovering the holes by his mouth. You can also use the mouth to store the stick when not in use. Bullfrogs are one of the largest frogs in the world. Native American and Australian aborigines believe that bullfrogs are bringers of rain. In Japan, frogs are consider symbols of good luck.
