I made this sculpture, Gefilte Fish, as a commission to be ready in July but she’s not been collected yet.
I’ve been looking after her at home and have now decided that I need to find her a loving forever home.
She’s 26cm high, 26cm wide and the depth is about 8cm.
She’s available at Ellen Jay.
You can DM me for the price.
