Second piece: a magnificent mythological hippocampus, fantastical creature half horse, half fish, depicted in a leaping stance. It has a finely sculpted horse head, a body adorned with a rich turquoise and blue adornment with multicolored motifs, as well as a spectacular spiral-curved fish tail, delicately worked to evoke scales.
