Gentle Beauty Seahorse

The seahorse is named for its equine appearance having what seems to be foreparts of a horse and the hind parts of a fish. Seahorses were sacred to Poseidon god of the ocean, believed to protect sailors from evil and rough waters. These exceptional water creatures from the pipefish family mate for life and bring a gentle beauty to their ocean homes. Cody Chavez's onyx seahorse is about 1 3/4" tall, 1 1/2" wide and 3/8" deep. Eyes are from turquoise inlays.
