Carved bonito fish with long nose that tapers to a pointed end, and an open mouth. There are two protruding side fins, one protruding dorsal fin, a smaller fin near the tail, and two smaller fins on the underside of the fish. The surface of the body is inlaid with triangular-shaped, off-white pava shells set into what appears to be resin. There are two circular shells for eyes and a diamond shaped shell on the top of the head.
