Frog Guardian – Temple Watcher of Ubud Bali | Framed Hand-Painted Pencil Print | Symbolic Balinese Frog Art on Archival Matte Paper

from $160.00
This is a museum-quality, framed fine art print of Frog Guardian – Temple Watcher of Ubud, based on an original pencil drawing created exclusively for Craft Ads—our hand-painted billboard company rooted in storytelling and place-based art.

Inspired by a statue discovered in the koi pond of a Balinese purification temple near Ubud, this piece captures a figure that blends nature with divinity: a frog in human form, robed in ceremonial attire, standing sentinel over sacred waters.

In Balinese tradition, frogs symbolize transformation, fertility, and protection. Their presence in holy springs speaks to more than just ornament—they reflect the life-giving power of water, harmony between realms, and the quiet strength of sacred guardianship.

This is part of an ongoing series exploring spiritual architecture and folkloric symbolism from around the world, this work invites reflection on the ways myth, ritual, and place converge. It’s a refined and contemplative addition to any space devoted to travel, design, or cultural storytelling.

Each print is professionally produced on archival matte art paper, custom framed with conservation-grade materials, and arrives ready to hang. It’s a bold, meaningful piece that brings sacred power and visual gravity to any space. The specific frame was chosen to compliment the print. The golden pecan stain over a fine Kota wood grain makes this frame timeless and versatile.
