This charming small figurine depicts a fish or eel, possibly a catfish, with a smooth, polished surface. It appears to be made of either bronze with a rich patina or a dark, finely carved wood, given its warm brown tone and subtle sheen. The details are minimalist, focusing on the overall form of the aquatic creature, with small eyes, gills, and fins subtly rendered. Its compact size suggests it could be a pendant, a charm, or a small decorative collectible. The craftsmanship indicates a traditional or folk art style, likely of Asian origin.
