Antique sculpture composition "Carps". Made of bronze, covered with patina. The sculpture is installed on a stand made of varnished wood. Japan, 20th century.

Carp is originally a symbol of masculinity, the personification of the male principle. When a boy was born in a family, a pennant with a carp was necessarily hung on the windows. But later the fish began to mean family well-being and prosperity in general.
