Keren Kopal
Green Dentist Frog Trinket Box
This item is part of the Frog Trinket Box Series and part of the Keren Kopal collection.
This whimsical trinket box features a green frog professionally dressed as a dentist, complete with a mint green patterned scrub tunic, white trousers, and a white face mask pulled down around his neck. The frog is captured in a dynamic pose, looking upward with one hand raised as if examining a small gold-toned dental model or tooth. His attire is accented with gold-plated trim and a series of sparkling light green crystals that serve as buttons on his tunic and adorn his webbed feet. The piece includes a detailed silver-toned dental station with a sink and tool tray, all mounted on a glossy yellow square base scattered with tiny silver dental instruments.
This collectible piece is a perfect blend of high-end craftsmanship and playful humor, making it an ideal gift for dental professionals or collectors of unique animal figurines. The torso of the frog opens via a magnetic hinge to reveal a hidden compartment, marked with the authentic Karen Kopal gold seal. Whether displayed on a desk, a bookshelf, or a vanity, its vibrant enamel finish and glittering crystal accents add a touch of sophisticated character to any interior space.
