Amulets, which were believed to protect the owner against harm of all kinds, were widely worn in the Islamic world. They could take many forms, and acquired their potency from their colour, shape or material. This little frog was described as a âpreservative against the evil eyeâ when it was acquired by the Museum in 1872 as an example of typical Syrian traditional jewellery. It might also represent a toad, which was a popular amulet among the Bedouin for promoting growth and female fertility. It was bought for two shillings, for a pair, at the International Exhibition, London, in 1872.
