Whilst perusing Taino: Precolumbian Art and Culture from the Caribbean again, we noticed what appears to be another amulet depicting a figure with the legs positioned like those of a frog. It would seem to be yet another example of the woman posed like a frog motif seen in antiquities found in what is now Haiti. Though cruder, it would appear to be referring to the same themes as the other amulets from western Hispaniola.
