Bring home a unique piece of mid-20th century Caribbean folk art. This hand-carved wooden fish sculpture was crafted in Haiti, most likely between the 1960s-1980s, when Haitian mahogany carvings were at their peak. The artist created a flowing, stylized design with detailed scales, fins, and a gracefully curved tail - a true statement piece that captures motion and artistry. Material: Believed to be solid mahogany (dense, reddish-brown hardwood typical of Haitian carvings)?? 22" long x 7-8" tall (tail height) x 3" wide??

Origin: Marked "Haiti on base? Light wear consistent with age (see photos), but overall well-preserved with a beautiful polished finish. Nautical / coastal / tropical design themes. Folk art & world art enthusiasts.

A standout gift or conversation piece.
