Photo a day - fish or horn or both?



In March 2010, we visited Villa Farnese in Caprarola, outside of Rome. It was built in the 1500s in the Renaissance style, and in the back are formal gardens with a lot of sculpture. It's hard to tell what exactly is going on with this one, but it looks like the figure is blowing into a fish-shaped horn. Any other guesses?
