I wonder what the symbolism is for the snake and frog. The frog has human-like shape and limb to torso ratio…

I Have lots of weird clothing and ornamental decorations in my house. According to archeologist from the future, i'm an ancient unknown cult.

I suggest it symbolizing in some way the Veles Slavic god Wich his one form should be Snake, can be due to other two findings are found in Hungary And Bavaria, Wich Hungary was mostly Magyarized Slavs, and eastern Bavarians had slavic settlements, it can be just Slavic pagan Pantheon design rather than cult, anyway we don't know much about actual Slavic mythology and each specific figures.
