Seahorse with Starfish & Crab

$153.00

Although seahorses are not fast swimmers, they can swim forwards, backwards, up, and down. They steer with small pectoral fins, while an air pocket in their body controls their buoyancy. 
Seahorses have specialized skin cells called chromatophores, which allow them to change color to mimic their surroundings.

This beautiful wall piece is an original handcrafted design. The vibrant colors are created by fusing pulverized glass particles onto solid copper and then firing the piece in a kiln under extreme heat. 
It measures approximately 9" wide x 11.5" tall x 1" deep.
