Behold: the Mercat. Half feline, half fish, fully delighted with the catch of the day. This grinning little mythical creature holds her prize aloft like a trophy — a fish tale you'll want to hang on the wall.

Each piece is an original hand-finished papercut, layered over a one-of-a-kind background and framed in modern black wood. The shadowbox effect makes her float just off the page.

Because every background is handmade, no two are exactly alike — yours will be a true original made from the same background material.

Choose your colorway:

🌊 Tide Pool — soft teal with hand-drawn wave linework 
🐚 Deep Sea — moody teal and indigo alcohol ink with gold veining
🪸 Coral Reef — sunset pink and orange wash, warm and dreamy
🎏 Koi Pond — bold blue and violet seigaiha fan pattern with gold
