Fish Head – Leather Cord Necklace

| Series : Specimen Series - Fish Head; Speak for Me | The tongue-eating louse {Cymothoa exigua} is a relative of the giant isopod. It enters a fish through its gills and attaches to the base of its tongue, consuming and replacing the tongue to feed on the host's blood. 𓆛 𓆛 𓆛 𓆛 𓆛 Perhaps at various moments and in different situations, we've all felt as if a tongue-eating louse has grown in our mouths, biting our tongues and silencing our voices. Perhaps it’s time to train our little tongue-eating louses to speak the right words for us. Or maybe, rumor has it that fried tongue-eating louses taste as delicious as freshwater shrimp! -------------------- Materials: Brass, 925 Sterling Silver (Isopod), Cowhide Leather Cord.
