I distinctly remember finding this tiny beaver in a glass case at Pueblo Of Zuni Arts & Crafts. There were a variety of them, all in turquoise, as well as some other animals. Made by Karen Zunie, it was the first time we had ever seen her carve so small, nor have we ever seen later work this tiny. At the time, she was married to Lance Cheama and carved in a very realistic style. Given his very petite stature, this beaver isn't highly detailed, though his tail is cross-hatched! He has jet inlaid eyes and is unsigned.

Please take note of the dimensions! That is a PENNY, the beaver is sitting on in some of the photos. The length of the carving is a mere 3/4"! In our collection since we purchased it in around 1998-99.
