The image features four carved effigies or sculptures laid out in a vertical column against a light background. They are sculpted in the form of fish, each one differing slightly in size, detail, and shape, suggesting they might be crafted from different materials or by different artisans. From top to bottom: - The first fish effigy has a slender body with incised lines suggesting fins and scales. Its eye is represented by a simple circle, and the mouth is indicated by a small line. This piece has a relatively smooth surface and appears intact. - The second fish is larger, with a more pronounced curve to its body and darker color. It has detailed carving around the eye and mouth, adding depth to its features. It has a carved pattern suggesting scales, and there's a noticeable break or notch near the tail portion, possibly indicating damage or an intentional part of its design. - The third piece is smaller and has a rougher texture, with heavier patination that gives it a more weathered appearance. It has incised patterns resembling fins and eyes, and its form is more stylized and less detailed compared to the others. - The final piece at the bottom has the most pronounced curvature of the four, bending almost into a semi-circle. It shows clear carvings delineating its scales, eye, and other features, with a pronounced and protruding tail. The image itself is in black and white, making it difficult to determine the true color of the materials used for the carvings. The number sequence on the left suggests that this might be a photograph from an archive or collection, possibly taken for documentation purposes.
