Dongkang Ritual Frog

Dongkang is a frog, traditionally taken from rice fields and used in major Balinese Hindu rituals such as Eka Dasa Rudraand Panca Wali Krama. In Balinese Hindu belief, the frog symbolizes the connection between humans, nature, and ritual life. As part of sacred offerings, frogs are believed to carry prayers for fertility, balance, and harmony in the natural world. This sculpture captures the reverence for the frog within these rituals, transforming it into a lasting form that reflects its ritual importance and spiritual role in Balinese culture.
