Wonderful Old Carved Beaver american landscape ) Pretty satisfying and prettyHow not to love this little one? Small but wonderfully detailed all that intensively carved fur and those tiny little feet and crosshatched tail! Definitely an old carving, with a terrific dark dry wood patina. Very charming. 3 1 2" l x 1 1 2" t x 1 1 16" w and in very good condition. Late 19th early 20th c. I would guess.
