Lucky Frog

Frogs are also a symbol of luck. For many centuries, the Frog has been a symbol of abundance, partly due to the very large number of eggs it lays at one time. It has been worn as an amulet. In Rome, the frog was a mascot believed to bring good luck to the home. In Ireland the frog is considered a close relative of the leprechaun and capable of playing tricks on you when least expected. The three-legged toad from China is the traditional pet of the immortal Liu Hai, who is also the Chinese god of wealth.
