The Story of the Frog Dance can be summed up as follow, a prince of Jenggala who was fond of catching dragonflies disappeared in a dense forest near an erupting volcano. A few years later a frog emerged which was believed to be the reincarnation of the lost prince. One day the prince-frog encountered a beautiful princess of Daha: he fell in love with her and wanted to marry her. Unable to fulfill this dream the frog committed itself to ascetic life, but by the blessing of the great God Wisnu, he was turned back into a handsome young man, the lost prince of Jenggala. Frog Dance is accompanied by a folk musical instrument called genggong whose sound is similar to Jew’s harp.All the masks are hand-carved and individually painted, so there may be some small difference in size or details between the one pictured and the one you will receive - although they will all be same colour, shape and roughly similar size.
