including a few tiny chips of clay stuck to its surface and glazed over

in which one might hide some tiny thing

Nicely Done Folk Art Fish! horseback rider including a few tiny chipsThis looks like a lake trout to me, but I am not a fisherwoman, so please correct me if I'm wrong! It's a 13 inch er whatever the case, and nicely done but not at all fussy, with the two fins on the lower body carved separately and glued on. Seemed to me it'd be a nice one to hang in the kitchen, or perhaps near one's fishing gear as inspiration! 13 1 8" l x 4" t, with a hanger on the back. Very good condition, I'd guess mid 20th century or so.
