This new free standing clay figure is a rainbow/cutthroat trout. The entire figure is fully polished and incised. It is polished and fired a deep black. Jennifer so accurately portrays her fish since she is a fantastic fisherwoman! Both sides are etched with design work that shows off the beautiful colors of the trout. Her colors are all derived from natural clay slips. The trout stands nicely on its own, revealing the accuracy of the fish on both sides.
