I honestly don't know- it's strange right? It's the third one from the same mold (all underwater) and was a gift from Italy.
The first is in Italy and the second one is somewhere in the Caribbean I think.
Okay- I just looked it up. It used to have a plaque that read:
"If I take the wings of the morning
And swell in the uttermost
parts of the sea,
Even there your hand will lead me
and your right hand hold me fast.
1927 In memoriam 1988
Michael M. Kevorian"
Apparently it is supposed to inspire underwater explorers. Here is a little information-
Sculpture Christ of the Deep
