This piece is a hungry, mean‑looking fish engraving carved on the reverse. The creature was cut with a wide open mouth full of sharp teeth, giving it that ready‑to‑bite attitude. The body carries skeletal lines and angled cuts to push the aggressive look even further. It’s one of those designs that leans into the wild side of carving, built to feel fast, dangerous, and always hunting.
