Carved Wooden Beaver Peruvian textiles with a nice fat

with a nice fat

placing it in relief and giving this piece terrific texture

stoic and animated with its outstretched neck and black painted mouth

I've learned that an exact match was made as an umpire's ball and strike keeper--which has become quite the collectible because it allowed for a count of five balls and four strikes

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.
