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.
