The significance of the toad in Ancient Egypt waned before that of the frog. Because it is poisonous, rendering it inedible to other animals, it seems particularly apt as a magical charm. Toad and frog amulets are also used as symbols of rebirth. This toad is squatting on a bronze staff, the use of which is not clear.
