In New Mexico, meadow jumping mice are endangered because of habitat loss and lack of water. They live along streams, contributing to the health of these water sources. Karen Zunie's amazing Mouse or a rat has been carved from a lovely looking Picasso marble. Tan, grey and brown hues are seen in varying patterns and turquoise eyes are inlaid into a whiskered face. A long tail is one to remember, elegantly draped over the back of this roughly 2 1/4" long, 1" wide and 1/2" tall rodent friend.
