In the Kingdom of Thailand, there is a rich tradition of folk arts and handicrafts. One of these crafts, which helps support the residents of a small village and protects their ancient forest, is the hand carved wooden frog. Carved from either Monkey wood or Teak, the wooden frog guiro makes a croaking sound when played. Beautifully finished in a medium-dark stain. It also makes an excellent tone block,and an attractive gift.
