Another fave from The Met's
#KimonoStyle show for #FrockFriday + bonus #FroggyFriday:
Fireman's Jacket (Hikeshi-banten) with Shogun Taro Yoshikado, #Japan, Edo, mid-19th c.
“The jacket] features a scene popular in Kabuki & based on a print by Utagawa Kunisada (1786-1865) in which the warrior Yoshikado asks a frog sage for magical powers to avenge the murder of his father.” That print is “The Actor Nakamura Shikan IV as Shōgun Tarō Yoshikado”, 1862, also shown here:

Here is an even earlier example: this fabulous frog necklace from #Lalique is dated c. 1902-3 ad combines 18k gold, diamond, & enamel with glass. Although still within the Art Nouveau period, these chunky square frogs seem like precursors to the later Art Deco aesthetic. "Lalique's final designs in jewelry incorporated glass as the major element in repeating patterns of abstracted forms such as frogs"

For #FroggyFriday, a frog trio in amber colored glass by René Lalique (French, 1860-1945), d. 1 3/4 in. (4.4 cm); likely originally a button or stickpin, a guilded brass mount was later added to make it a brooch. #Lalique was one of the finest jewelers of the #ArtNouveau period, but his shift into mainly glassworks was concurrent with the rise of #ArtDeco; this piece from 1911 is a good example of this transitional period in design.

Vandaag plaats ik geen vogel, maar wel de #groenekikker Ook leuk! Bij Egmond tijdens de wandeling gaan we bij een watertje altijd even kijken, op zoek naar libellen. Kikkers zitter er ook heel veel 🐸

RT @brookfield_zoo
We're all smiles for #FroggyFriday! 😁

The Lake Titicaca frog is one of the largest species of aquatic frog, reaching up to 20 inches in length. Unlike many creatures with lungs, they spend their entire life underwater!
