Unique art jewelry inspired by The Met collection.
This charming brooch nods to a Swiss automaton (ca. 1820) in the form of a pearl-laden enamel frog with ruby eyes. A mechanism animates the original frog, now in the Museum’s collection of musical instruments, allowing it to jump and croak. Automata have delighted spectators for centuries, and The Met is home to a number of outstanding examples.
