Descrizione:
Fantastic figure (or anthropomorphized tool) with a fish's head, fishing for a tumi-fish (or a coin-axe-fish) using a serpentine line ending in a bird's beak hook. The iconography seems to represent the zoomorphic soul of fishing tools or their animal "alter egos". (Aimi-Minelli) The Quechua word "tumi" indicates the semi-lunar knife typical of Andean civilizations. Grey-black flask with cylindrical neck, lateral ribbon-shaped handle and flat bottom. The front and rear walls are decorated with moldings with two fantasy beings on a "goose flesh" background.
