The Frog-shaped jade ornament was unearthed in the archaeological site at Yenliao, Hualien, Taiwan in 1994.[1] It can be dated back to 2,800 to 2,300 years ago (B.P.; or 851-351 BC).[2] It is one of the most significant jade ornaments of the Huakangshan Culture during the Neolithic period. It is thought to have been used as a pendant.[3]

This ornament, made of nephrite (Taiwanese jade) is Шаблон:Convert in length and Шаблон:Convert in width. The shape is reminiscent of a frog, with a pair of big, round eyes, as well as forking limbs. There is a notch on the head,[4] possibly to allow the ornament to be worn on a string. The ornament is unique and rare for being a complete animal-shaped jade ornament dating from prehistoric Taiwan. It demonstrates the jade production techniques of prehistoric Taiwan, and was therefore designated as a national treasure in 2014.[5] It is now held in the National Museum of Prehistory collections.
