Toad c. 1500–1550 or later Italy, possibly Padua, 16th century Medium bronze

Casting animals from life was a common Renaissance practice, connected to scholars’ interest in natural history and a taste for oddities. Drowning the toad in ammonia left the animal’s body intact. The workshop then manipulated the head, opened the mouth, and cast the creature as a functional object for the study.

I love the notes saying this femme knows exactly what she's doing and it's all part of her flirting technique. You get it.
