stoic and animated with its outstretched neck and black painted mouth

Carved Wooden Beaver Peruvian textiles with a nice fatHere's a sweet little hand carved wooden beaver to add to the menagerie, with nicely detailed fur and tail, plus great little ears and eyes. I'm not sure on the age or origins of this piece, but there is a "3" carved on the underside of his tail. Just a charming little friend! 2 7 8" long x 3 4" wide x 1" tall and in great condition.
