Statuette, Kleinbronze, Bronze, Frosch

Anfang 16. Jahrhundert

The toad was made of bronze and could be used as inkpot. The special casting (stil rustique) was made in Padova: The  dead animals were covered with clay, dried and baked in an oven until they were burned out. So a very realistic and detailed hollow mould was created.
