Woman Raising FishEdwin's human figures are stunning, and this carving of a woman holding up a fish is no exception. A theme in Edwin's work is appreciation for what nature provides and it is evident here. The raising of the fish gives the impression of the woman giving praise to the animal for its sustenance. Both the piece of ivory used and the execution of the carving is near perfection.
