The fish is absolutely beautiful and full of many shades of blue and turquoise.  It's just the right size for my collage of deep sea creatures in my office/den wall.  I bought the sea horse along with the fish and it too is very well made and the mother of pearl along the breast of the sea horse really stands out.  This is one of my favorite things I've bought this year and I can't wait to hang it up.  Very well made and just striking.
