The fish is head-down with her tail curled an rising above to form an open circle. The scales, eyes and mouth are realistically carved. The background of horizontal broken waves is overlaid with seaweed fronts.

A black grosgrain ribbon, about 29 ½" in length and5/16" in width, can be adjusted with the box slider: use it to create a long tail for the pendant, a shorter tail or to wear the pendant closer to the neckline (slip the ribbon on with slider behind your neck and pull iti closer to you). The condition is quite fine all around, no breaks or chips on the pendant or slider and no wear visible on the ribbon.

A period slider necklace is always a rare treat and the handwork of this Art Deco period celluloid find sets it apart from all the other fish in the jeweled sea.

The back of the brooch has a securely inlaid metal safety clasp pin, a fine way to finish a non-precious piece.
