Nicely Done Folk Art Fish! horseback rider in which one might hideThis looks like a lake trout to me, but I am not a fisherwoman, so please correct me if I'm wrong! It's a 13 inch er whatever the case, and nicely done but not at all fussy, with the two fins on the lower body carved separately and glued on. Seemed to me it'd be a nice one to hang in the kitchen, or perhaps near one's fishing gear as inspiration! 13 1 8" l x 4" t, with a hanger on the back. Very good condition, I'd guess mid 20th century or so.
