Description: UNMARKEDTHE FIRST PHOTO IS THE ORIGINAL PIECE BY EDITH BARRETTO STEVENS PARSONS. IT IS APPROX. 30" TALL AND 10" ACROSS. THE ONE SHOWN IN THE FOLLOWING PHOTOS, IS AN ANTIQUE COPY OF THIS ORIGINAL AND WAS RECEIVED AS A GIFT ABOUT 25 YEARS AGO THIS PIECE AS FAR AS I CAN SEE IS UNSIGNED AND IT IS SMALLER THAN THE ORIGINAL BUT TO THE LAST DETAIL IT MATCHES THE ORIGINAL. IF YOU LOOK AT THE THE UNDERNEATH OF THE SCULPTURE YOU CAN SEE THE AMOUNT OF SALT CORROSION ATTESTING TO ITS AGE.MEASURES 24" TALL AND 8.5" ACROSS. The Frog Baby statue, created by American sculptor Edith Barretto Stevens Parson, resides in a central location on the campus of Ball State University and is a well-known part of the university's rich traditions. The statue depicts a young girl who is brightly smiling at the sky while holding one frog in each of her hands. In the surroundings is a fountain of water with small frogs resting on the edges as they spout out water. The statue commemorates Alexander M. Bracken, who served on the Ball State Board of Trustees for 22 years and is also the son-in-law of Frank C.Ball. MY PHOTOS ARE CLOSE UPS SO YOU CAN SEE ALL THE DETAILS… UNFORTUNATELY I HAVE HAD A COUPLE RETURNS DUE TO SOME FOLKS BEING DISAPPOINTED WITH THE SIZE OF THINGS WHEN THEY GET THEM. PLEASE ASK ANY AND ALL QUESTIONS BEFORE YOU BID!!! ALL LISTINGS HAVE LENGTH AND WIDTH MEASUREMENTS PLEASE CHECK THESE AND TRY TO VISUALIZE THE SIZE SO YOU ARE NOT DISAPPOINTED. THANK YOU
