Mermaid, hanging sculpture. (2014) Original Sculpture by Elya Yalonetski

"Christopher Columbus reported seeing mermaids while exploring the Caribbean, and sightings have been reported in the 20th and 21st centuries in Canada, Israel and Zimbabwe. The U.S. National Ocean Service stated in 2012 that no evidence of mermaids has ever been found"

If you feel yourself unhappy with the last statement from Wiki, take a proper look at the tender creature above.
ca. 9 Inch high hanging sculpture is a fireproofed ceramic evidence of their existence...

it's was formed on pottery wheel, modelled, painted and glazed by hand,
with beautiful graphics by the artist Sveta Dorosheva under glaze.
