SEMANTICS OF THE FROG IMAGE ON SOME VESSELS OF THE NEW KINGDOM ERA IN ANCIENT EGYPT

Among the many scenes of offering gifts, one of the most interesting is one of the types of vessels that are offered-bowls, amphorae, or lydions made of gold, silver, or electrum - whose characteristic feature is a figure of a sitting frog placed either on a pedestal in the center or on a lid.
