Three agate fish figurines face right in a row, featuring broad, flattened bodies with ribbed fins and circular, recessed eyes. The translucent white figurine on our left has orange-brown facial markings. In the center, a figurine displays deep orange and red tones with a dark gray face. On our right, horizontal red and white bands pattern the body. The polished figures cast soft reflections across a smooth gray surface.
