The image displays an elaborate, multi-component sculpture, identified as a "ninot" from the Fallas festival, exhibited within a clear glass display case. The location is the Museu Faller de València, València, Spain. The central subject is a large, pale-skinned mermaid with light brown hair, adorned with small seashells and starfish, her eyes closed in a serene expression. She sits with her upper body bare, her green and blue patterned tail fin extending downward. Surrounding and supporting her is a complex, intertwining structure resembling coral, marine growth, and tentacles. This structure is populated by numerous smaller, whimsically rendered figures, including a crowned, trident-wielding humanoid figure seated near the mermaid's head, various stylized fish with expressive faces, crab-like creatures, and other small, grotesque or cartoonish marine humanoids. The base of the sculpture depicts a seabed with rocks, small coral formations, a dark-colored shark, and starfish. A shell-shaped plaque at the front base identifies the work: "Falla Obispo Amigo-Cuenca Seccio 1 ARTISTE FRANCISCO LOPEZ I ALEPPTI." A smaller museum label on the display case glass indicates "1993," the year the ninot was created. The sculpture is rendered in pastel and muted tones of blues, greens, pinks, purples, and off-whites. The background behind the display case is a plain, light green wall.
