Decorative Brass Fish Sculpture from the 20th Century
Located in Hamburg, DE
Rare brass fish sculpture from the 20th century. The special thing about the sculpture, it consists of two parts. The fish is put into the coral. A beautiful maritime decoration, which can actually be combined well with everything and by its small depth can be placed wonderfully on narrow shelves.
