This is an Arctic Char fish. The gorgeous black/green stone set against the very dynamic movement are formidable combinations that make this an exceptional piece. Even though I have seen several char fish over the years, Ning somehow manages to make this particular one it's own. Quite unique, very modernist with a touch of minimalist style. The posture, facial expression, and stone make this iconic Northern sea creature the masterpiece that it deserves to be. For the fishing enthusiast.
