The theme representation mounted on the fitting itself could be of any sort and interest such as flowers, animals, birds, fishes, fruits, vegetables, or flags, fancy items, sport items, or even individuals that could represent all sort of characters or even seasonal characters, as well as promotional products etc . . . .
