Three years ago I took these pictures at the home of my friend Joan in Pacific Grove. I thought at first it was a netsuke, but it is a little carved ivory box (the owner of the box tells me it is not ivory - don't know what it is made of). I don't have any information about the it, I just think it is wonderful.
One side of the about 2.5" tall box.
And the front of the box.
And the other side.
And with the lid off.
What a wonderful little treasure.

It is wonderful -- so cool that each fish is different and has it's own expression.
Hi Del, I too have one and it is a little circle of Puffins. It was made in England about 1996 by a company called "Harmony Kingdom". It resides on our library shelf and I can't believe that you have never noticed it! It has a little surprise inside. Mary
A splendid little piece of art!
