Crafted with substantial weight and detailed relief work, the piece showcases sculpted scales along its arched body, stylized side fins, and a fanned tail that serves as the top pivot assembly. The body projects outward from a carved circular backplate before sweeping down into a heavy striking head designed to produce a clear, solid sound against an entryway door.
