Context: The frog goddess Hequat assisted at childbirth. Small frogs in semiprecious stone, glass, or faience were commonly used as amulets by women hoping for an easy delivery and by men and women in expectation of a successful rebirth into the next life. Because of its size, however, this image must have resided in a temple.
