Ships, Folk Art, and Whimsey in Bottles

This is a very cute scene of 6 tropical fish swimming in a bottle. The fish are nearly identical and are carved from wood and painted in very colorful color combinations. Each fish is painted in a different color combination. The fish are shown swimming in a green coral bed with rocks and a shell on the bottom of the blue clay or putty ocean. The bottle rests on two small blocks of wood glue to the bottom of the bottle for support. The bottle is sealed with a thin layer of cork.
