Haven't seen it with an internal description. As I understand, it was a symbol
used by Christians in Rome when they were an obscure and proscribed underground
cult. The Greek for fish, Icthys, was an anagram of Christ.
If I see it on the back of a car, I avoid the vehicle. It indicates that the
driver will drive as if s/he will be forgiven and possibly as if immortal.
