A Horse of the Sea

The Greeks imagined sea horses called hippokampoi. They had the front of a horse and the tail of a fish.

In myth they drew the chariot of Poseidon and carried the Nereids. Mosaics often show them with green scales and fins for manes.

The Sea Horse King statue does not copy that creature. It does share the green tone often seen in ancient mosaics.

The Shell Mane

A Charles Le Norreys sculpture of this kind turns spray into form. The sculpted shells swirl like waves caught mid motion. From some angles the mane looks like foam rolling over rocks.

From others it resembles a crown. The horse's gaze stays forward, calm and strong.
