Comments:This small fish is very neatly rendered in an almost straight line. Only the slightly flared tail is bent. There is an incised eye and a half moon for the gills. The dorsal fine and those under the belly are very neatly incised. There is a hole at the mouth of the fish. A similar fish has come from Shanxi Hongdong Yongning. See Rawson 1995, p.229, cat.no.12.35. Shang/Western Zhou.
