Original artwork description:

As I saw her coming from the firing in the kiln with those drops of red glaze on her back I thought she was wounded, but alive. I have immediately remembered hundreds of poor dolphins haunted each year by bloodthirsty Japanese suckers in Taiji. I wish each of the those dolphins would escape their hooks like this little mermaid did...




"Christopher Columbus reported seeing mermaids while exploring the Caribbean, and sightings have been reported in the 20th and 21st centuries in Canada, Israel and Zimbabwe. The U.S. National Ocean Service stated in 2012 that no evidence of mermaids has ever been found"

If you feel yourself unhappy with the last statement from Wiki, take a proper look at the tender creature above.
ca. 9 Inch high hanging sculpture is a fireproofed ceramic evidence of their existence...

it's was formed on pottery wheel, modeled, painted and glazed by hand.
