A masterpiece of form and function, this wood and copper box represents an almost watertight, airtight construction that both holds the materials used to catch a fish while simultaneously praising and evoking the fish itself.

The face of the fish is expertly worked in thin copper sheets that serve to create an almost abstract, but instantly recognizable likeness. The two eyes on the top of the head are anatomically correct for a Halibut and speak volumes to the observational powers of the artist who created the piece.
