      For all its beauty one of these in real life can kill a person. This interpretation gives more of a futuristic view but equally as good as any other. Well marked, the total colouration tells anyone that you have a real winner here, baby !~

      That’s a seriously sharp looking swordfish! I adore him, you must have a whole aquarium of fish now! :D he is fabulous, I can imagine him leaping out of the waves with that pose, they’re very speedy powerful fish which he really looks like!

      Thank you Phil for your fabulous compliments & yes, this looks like one of those sharp-nosed deadly fish! Your comment reminded me of the late Steve Irwin the crocodile guy, who was so unfortunately stabbed fatally by a stingray. The ocean has much beauty but danger as well - our summer beaches were fraught with sharks this yr so no swimming was allowed

      Lauren absolutely this swordfish has a spear for a nose! And lol, my fish collection grows larger every day, although this is only my 2nd swordfish. They certainly are speedy swimmers, thank you for your super spot-on comment

      Thank you very much Searching for your delightful praise, I am glad you can see all the beauty & detail in this swordfish, it has all of the things I love about Pell - great design (how about that jazzy top fin!) and clever use of baguette accents. I felt this was a lovely, classy piece from them

      vintagelamp thank you so much for your wonderful compliment & loving this fish, you are always so kind and it is ever appreciated :)
