From the National Music Museum, in South Dakota: 

NMM 4142. Treble (alto) recorder by Johann Benedikt Gahn, Imperial City of Nürnberg, before 1711. Boxwood, ornately carved. The headjoint is carved in the shape of an anthropomorphic fish head with human eyes which seem to stare up at the player with a watchful expression. Rawlins Fund, 1987.
