From primeval gods to secret princes, frogs have played a variety of roles in folklore, fable, philosophy, and literature. Because of their life cycle, they are seen as a symbol of transformation and renewal.

Frog sculpture dates to the 4^th millennium BCE, and flourished in classical antiquity.  These complex creatures are most often considered to celebrate harmony and healing, positive energy, romance and prosperity.  There’s that whole poison dart thing to add a little mystery.  And the pesky Old Testament business with the plague.  NOT THEIR FAULT!
