Vintage hand carved Teak hardwood Sea bass

A very nicely hand carved hardwood sea bass by Richard R Hill Circa 1970s, life size set on a hardwood board , a great decorative item for the home, kitchen or man cave. It’s unusual to find a sea bass so very rare. Signed by artist on the back board with his signature “shrimp” sketch.

I recall Richard Hill also carved a Roach from using a taffrail from an old paddle steamer for the late Jack Hargreaves around 1975, maybe this fish is from the same timber!
