Pre-Columbian Gold Frog Pendant
This gold pendant from Costa Rica’s southern Pacific region (700–1550 AD) represents a stylized frog, with rounded eyes, squat limbs, and splayed toes. Frogs were sacred in pre-Columbian thought, linked to fertility, rain, and transformation. Their croaking signaled seasonal change, while their dual aquatic-terrestrial nature symbolized the bridge between worlds.
