A pair of bookends featuring cast silver-toned metal sculptures of stylised heraldic dolphins or koi fish. Each figure is detailed with cast scales, fins, and an open mouth. The figures are mounted on L-shaped wooden bases with a medium-brown finish and rounded edges. The undersides and back upright sections are lined with red felt. The metal displays a polished silver-toned finish with a natural age-related patina, consistent with chrome-plated brass or a similar white metal alloy.
