Once Known as the Fish People 1986 Folk Art by Pat Mervis Schwartz

About the Item

Quite charming folk art assemblage by the noted artist Pat MMervis Schwartz. Dated 1986, signed and titled “Once Known as the Fish People”. It is in a fitted constructed case that opens to reveal a wonderful group of little figural “people.” Great whimsical sculpture. Great age appropriate condition, although to be honest not sure what was present when created.
