Toad, c. 1500-1550 or later. Casting animals from life was a common Renaissance practice, connected to scholars? interest in natural history and a taste for oddities. Drowning the toad in ammonia left the animal?s body intact. The workshop then manipulated the head, opened the mouth, and cast the creature as a functional object for the study.
