Very well-made, large and heavy (44.5 kg ) coarse granite garden ornament hand-carved with great detail in the shape of a large frog carrying a young frog on its back. Nice bulbous eyes, and with a well proportioned body Truly, crafting such intricate designs in tough granite is a challenge, requiring exceptional skill and craftsmanship to achieve. It has a great outdoorsy and aged patina. The granite is in shades of white, grey and black. Dimensions: Height 29 cm, Width 41 cm, Depth 34 cm. Weight 44.5 kg. The age of such a stone item is difficult to determine. We think that this one is carved during the Taisho pwriod, 1912-1926, so around 100 years old. It has attractive ‘soft’ contours indicating weather corrosion for many years, a great sign of its older age. It is in a very good original condition. Please look at the photos for a condition reference. When shipped we will add a certificate of authenticity.
