About this work
Rock-crystal vessels in the shape of monsters were a speciality of the Milanese workshop of the Saracchi family. At first sight there seems to be only a single monstrous fish with a wide-open mouth; however those who look closely will see that the creature rides on the tail of a second sea monster.
