The sculpture shows a carp carved in blue topaz, its body arched, its head low among curling waves and its tail swept round into the water.
The carp is smaller than the palm of a lady's hand, yet it has the detail and movement the artist envisaged and brought to life. Every scale is individually detailed, the fins follow natural lines of movement, and the swirling back fin sets the little fish in motion through the rushing waves that surround and engulf its delicate form.
Materials: blue topaz
Dimensions: 6 × 5 × 3.5 cm
