round Matsya Manu Fish VIDEO Link hand painted on Abalone shell drilled - an important piece, this cannot be repeated * This is exquisite * Sadly the artist has passed away now. * Gold paint contains real gold. * This piece is embedded with synthetic stones. * It will not fade - obviously it can be damaged if scratched. * The shell is drilled so the piece can be strung directly or it can be set in precious metal. (We have carved inside stones and set these shells in to the stone which looks fabulous.) * This is superb - and it cannot be repeated by this artist. Matsya (Sanskrit: मत्स्य, lit. fish) is the avatar (descendant) of the Hindu god Vishnu in the form of a fish. Often listed as the first avatar in the lists of the ten primary avatars of Vishnu, Matsya is described to have rescued the first man, Manu, from a great deluge. Matsya may be depicted as a giant fish, or anthropomorphically with a human torso connected to the rear half of a fish.
