Chief's ring or "mpetea" featuring a frog. Original - 19th century Ghana, from Akan / Ashanti / Asante culture. Replica is 3d printed, cast and hand-finished in the USA.⠀ ⠀ Frogs were a common theme and associated with royalty. The use of the animal is associated with the proverb "A frog's length is only apparent after death" - implying that the chiefs leadership and contributions are more prominent after their reign.⠀
