Inspired by a very small photo in a Southerby's garen art auction catalogue. It said that there were a pair and they were taken from a house in Grimsby. From a medieval garden. You can imagin the person who commissioned them to be made, perhaps a seaman, eplaining to the artist, "it is like a fish but not a fish" and getting this for his dolphin. My pet name for him is the Grimsby godolphin. He can be with vaious patinas and can be made as a water feature.
