#WorldFrogDay 🐸: In #AncientEgypt, #frog spawns were timed with the annual flooding of the Nile, making them fitting animal avatars of Heqet, a goddess of fertility, birth & rebirth. Collection of 8 frog amulets from New Kingdom to Late Period, c.1550-332 BCE, at the Met: (see ALT for info on each)
