Surrounding them are various sea creatures such as dogfish, morays, sea basses, sea breams, mullets, and electric rays. Each element meticulously crafted with vibrant tiles that bring life to these aquatic inhabitants. Now housed within the Archaeological Museum of Naples in Italy's cultural capital city stands this awe-inspiring work.
