Fiji Mermaid. Desiccated creature with humanoid head and arms, fin-like ears, beak-like mouth, scaled hide and webbed humanoid-like claws, with a fish torso with fins and tail. A large example; length 21”. Good condition. A classic carnival gaff first popularized by P.T. Barnum, this “man fish” hybrid was, in his day, one of his first great sideshow-like exhibits.
