The Amulet of the Frog |
The Amulet of the Frog is a symbolization of generation, rebirth, and fertility in ancient Egyptian lore, the frog goddess was Heket, depicted as a creature or as frog-headed woman. The four male gods of the Ogdoad of Hermopolis were also frog-headed, a symbolisation of their role in the greening and impregnation of Egypt at the creation and at the annual flood periods. Frog amulets were used to check rebirth for the cold in the tomb.
