Description

BIG FISH TILE PANEL--SECOND ROW, FAR LEFT TILE Color: Blue; Brown A square tile from the "Big Fish" panel, produced as an artist's model by RTK Studios, ca. 1990s. The piece, made from the black-line technique, has a brown border along the left. Most of the rest of the piece is the ocean with variations in glaze colors to create the water's glassy surface and the shadows cast by two men in a row boat, part of which is on the top right corner. On the bottom left corner are the top tips of a seagull's wings. The rest of the bird is pictured on 99.35.12.11. This is the second row, far left tile in the 15-piece panel, which was in preparation for the final product installed along the Via Casino in Avalon, Catalina Island. With little indication of wear or damage, the object is in good condition.
