Owl on a Frog is an early 17th century sculpture depicting an owl preying on a frog. The Austrian-produced sculpture is currently in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.[1]
Description
[edit]The sculpture shares many similarities with other sculptures in private collections and in Ambras Castle. One source attributes the sculpture to European metalsmith Caspar Gras. The frog's mouth can serve as an inkwell.[2]
