Vince Chavez's powerful Badger emerges from a root-filled den to hunt among the fertile grasslands. Badgers maintain and invigorate soil health through foraging and den building. Seeds are spread through their dung. Dens provide refuge for other wildlife too, even ground owls. Smoothly sculpted from indigenous Zuni travertine, while classic fur striping is etched and skillfully filled with colorful azurite paste, this turquoise-eyed friend is about 5 1/4" long, 3 1/4" wide and 1 1/4" tall. We love its raised foot.
