DESCRIPTIVE DATA
----------------
object type: fish surmounting a lotus flower.
object type: Carved and painted wooden fish (likely tilapia nilotica) 'emerging' from a lotus flower. The base of the lotus flower appears broken. Overall, the applied paint remains intact, though signs of wear are visible across the surface. A carved mortise on the proper right side of the fish is filled and retains its dowel. The mouth of the fish also retains a dowel, which was likely used to attach a lotus flower image, continuing a thematic trend of rebirth and which became prominent in New Kingdom art (Jurgielewicz 2020, 401; Andrews 1994, 67)
title:	figurine
