Scenic wallpaper designed for a bathroom. This mural is composed of three different panels making up one underwater scene. Section I, the first of three panels, contains two large fish with striped heads swimming. Two clams rest on the hilly bottom. Plant life is growing up both sides of the scene. The three panels work in sequence, with the right edge of Section III joining up the left edge of Section I, allowing multiple sets to be used to repeat around your bathroom. Printed in colors on an off-white ground.
