Description

Dried African bullfrog with all limbs, feet and head still attached. Although the frog is very round and broad in life, the dried body is shrivelled and thin. The jaw is wide and gaping. The back is a dark grey colour and the underside is yellow. The catalogue card records that this is a foodstuff that was sun dried, and would then cooked and eaten with butter and porridge.
